spinnerdoc Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) First off I'll give thanks to where it's due, Mike Borger for getting me into float fishing and for all the inspiring reports over the years, and for helping in the feedback and testing, I am greatful my friend. Spiel for letting me fit them on his array of reel seats and for some suggestions To the local reel makers, Esp. Ron Gardiner and to Al Taylor, for their inspiring work and support Thanks for the kind words as well, guys. I did try to incorporate people's wants and needs, hopefully I addressed most of it Edited December 25, 2013 by spinnerdoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinnerdoc Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 That black matte design is purdy! The three handle i might say to just make it a one handle, ya can only use one at a time anyway lol (not sure how that would effect the balance of the reel when peeling line in a slow drift) Glad you like them bud. My original plan for the 3 spokes were to have just one handle and 2 counter weights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original plan for the 3 spokes were to have just one handle and 2 counter weights Love em'....Youve got a designers eye for sure, you can tell when someone just starts pokin holes in aluminum in a rythmic pattern vs. when someone puts detailed thought into every step of a reel design.

solopaddler Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 PS: Thanks to the guys who stood by me. Without getting into details as it's just not worth it, Edwin was unfairly criticized on another board for supposedly copying someone elses design. An utterly ridiculous claim as is his reels are quite unique imo. I'm happy to give Edwin my support, the man deserves it. For those who are interested I've fished one of Edwin's reels since last spring and it's been flawless, just a joy to fish. Largest diameter reel I've ever fished yet also one of the lightest and smoothest. The only thing that took some getting used to was the lack of a clicker mechanism. Edwin's reels have a simple locking mechanism that's engaged by turning a small knob on the back plate. The only other reel I've ever seen that's even remotely similar are some of Al Taylors lovely heavily ported creations. Some of Al's reels also incorporate a locking mechanism. Once again well done my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
