Painting a reel

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Painting a reel

Post by BassCatDan » Sun Feb 27, 2011 7:31 am

Hi,

I have a Quantum Entergy that is a couple years old but for some reason lost the finish in blotches.
I want to take know how to remove the paint and then would appreciate any recommendations on good paint to use.

Thanks,
Dan

Do you have his contact info.? What is his rate and does he have a sight where it shows some of his works. I know a few people that could use his service.

Thank you.

I am in Australia and sent two reels to Calfish for repainting and could not be happier with the result.

I guess I will have to wait for the history to come back, as I can't find Calfish with all the posts from 2yrs. being lost.

Thanks,
Dan
