Thank you everyone for the kind words about my work. I will not respond in these threads about cost or availbility, I dont feel that is appropriate. Iceman 6 has posted my contact info and would like to leave it at that. As far as the Professors concerns they are correct but unnessary. The 700 series reel were never anodized, they were painted with a baked black enamel. The only anodized parts are the handle and gold/silver spools.Corrosion on the bodies or rotors would occur whenever a crack or chip would allow contaminents under the finish. After I machine the rotors they are 100% stripped and powder coated gloss black. As for the spools, in the past after machining I would strip and reanodize them black but I am considering powder coating these also in the future. Powder coating gives a superior finish than enamel because it is extremly tough and yet remains semi-flexable, thus resisting cracks or chips. I have done more than 60 reels over the last few years and have not witnessed or been notified of any failures in the finish. Thank you again for the kind words, I hope this answered some questions.ThanksDave T
