Reel was engraved at the factory.They use to offer that for free.You send them the artwork and they would put it on.My other one has my signature on it.
That's why I got Charltons Mike.Although they are ridiculously priced and a pain in the ass to find .They are a tank of a reel.There's none tougher.I had an Abel .It lasted me two years before I had thouroghly trashed it.Before that I had a Fin-Nor #2 MK II design.That was and is a tank.Still got it still use it but it don't look to good anymore.
Don't worry about sand cause you can't get any in it.It's sealed.Also no maintenence.Can't take it apart even if you want to.What happens if it breaks you ask?Don't know, never heard of one breaking.Though I guess somebodies managed to break one by now.Probably hooked a Greyhound bus out on I-95 or somethin.You can wash it off with fresh water once in a while if you want to.Nothing to oil or grease ever.That bonefish reel has caught thousands of the little suckers and still looks new.
