Be careful if a friend ask you to recondition a few reels and you say sure. He may come over with this:smash:. At least I'm getting paid but he isn't going to like the bill as I don't think he ever rinsed them off. There are 4 113's used for wire and 3 Jigmasters underneath too boot and they are all ugly.

big bucket of ugly !!

Ouch that looks nasty, good luck

already finished. Good as new but still not pretty. PIA but he is happy and I got 250 toward my Stella. Told him he better take care of them as parts are getting hard to get for those spinners. 2 were unrepairable because of corrosion.

Think of it like feeding an addiction.....the first "taste" is cheap, but when you come back for more the price goes up.
If he continues to disregard your advice regarding care of the remaining reels, let him know that your prices have gone up....dramatically due to time and parts.

Hey, figure out just what your time is worth and DOUBLE IT!!!:biglaugh:

At least you got a new used bucket

Macojoe got you to service his bucket of ugly now?

That looks 'zactly like what he hands me every winter. :smash:

Looks like TonyO's eel bucket.

You think that bucket was bad, you shoulda seen the wiring I just replaced in Vic's SS Flowerpot :wall::smash::fury::buds:
