I for one.....scored
BIG!! 
...thanks again Crafty. Now I know why you chose "Crafty" as your screen name........your one CRAFTY dude!!
Excellent work on the photograph. For those of you who haven't seen any of Chuck's work...he will be in Kingston at the MSBA show this month. Do yourself a favor, stop by and decorate one of your walls with some
reel fish porn by
"the Angler's Art".
As far as the flea market part, it's just like they say...
"One man's junk, is another man's treasure"....and before I get attacked, there was NO junk there, alot of the stuff was new or fairly new....it's just an expression
I know the Bliz-Man walked out with a sweet rod...Milo scored too...and da Goose had both pockets filled. Someone had a box of Custom plugs, (not sure who he was)...but they looked "killa"....
On to the show.
Mike Bucko from
Bucko's Parts and Service on Stafford Road in Fall River Ma.; led a very informative
class on reel repair, reel preventative maintenance and reel preferences. Who better to ask than the guy thats' knee deep in reels .. all day long, knows which one's come in more often for service, which one's have better internal organs and which one's are actually your best "bang for the buck"
...I learned a few things, got re-assured in some other things and over-all had a great time. Mike spoke of certain problems and offered the possible solutions to those problems. He even passed out a reel service and maintenance guide with all kinds of useful stuff.
I know this sounds like advertisement, but I just have to give credit to those who deserve it. Mike Bucko and CraftyAngler (Chuck), are Class
A guys in my book....I'd also like to thank DZ and The Newport County Salt Water Fishing Club for putting up with us misfits.
