706

I really hate the plastic sideplate on a penn 706. In the summer grease would leak out of it. A couple of weeks ago there were some 704 greenie sideplates for sale on another site so I bought one. Then I removed the 704 medallion. After butchering it trying to peen the 704 insignia flat I threw it out. I lightly sanded it and applied 2 coats of black enamel. Now what to do about the insignia. Recalling what another member said about a buffalo nickle fitting nicely I tried it. Next step is to add the counterweight like in The Fisherman and it should be sweet. And add a thin shin under the handle to time the spool.
