I'd be up for that, too. |

love the reel upkeep idea, can be a pricey problem if you don't know how to fix it, never mind time consuming if you have to send it out

If timing works out I would like all the above, heck I would do a smelting trip around here (Boston docks) if someone wanted to show me the ropes. Much different occassion obviously than a Maine smelt shack. While I would like to see the reel repair, I realy dont think I would ever trust myself to actually do it, but maybe...

This Fedex driver I know has fashioned himself a bit of an expert on smelt. Following them north as the freeze occurs in January. Two years ago, fishing five of those little rods, he brought home 98 #'s first time up. It never came in that good after that, but that is phenomenal. I'd go.
As far as rod repair. I might be able to help out. I don't have any rods at the moment that need to be glued back together, but maybe some other aspect. I have been making all my own rods for years. Nothing as fancy as Salty's, but they only time they fail is when I fall on them.
I would love to have greater confidence in reel repair so I am not afraid of at least taking them apart to clean them.
