brifishrgy Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Well after seeing spinnerdoc's post on his DIY reel last fall I decided I wanted to give it a try, working afternoons and nothing to do in the winter time I stuck around work and machined it, the bearings are old ones from an RC car so it doesn't spin as well as it should so I ordered some new stainless ones from Boca bearings last week and hopefully they will be here before Sat. I went to the dollar store and found a neoprene laptop case, cut it and sewed it up for a protective cover (just need to add some Velcro).. now I just need to practice casting in the backyard this week .. then hopefully FISH ON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
