TIGGER,

Congratulations !! - Wow looks to me like you would be very comfortable salmon fishing. How many SU Float Masters do you suppose he has built? Very handsome if you insist on the center pin.

Phone,

Thank's for that :).

Salmon fishing, i'd love it, especially over there in your neck of the woods!  I have had a few salmon over here but I only caught one whilst actually trying to get one. All the others were just a by catch and the largest one was only 8 1/2 lb so very average sized fish, I still enjoyed catching them though.

the steel head fishing over in the states looks fantastic!

 

To be honest I don't know how many floatmasters Chris has made, without looking I think this latest one is ninety something, but, I don't know if he does them in numeric order so he may have made more or even less. Next time I speak to him i'll ask him.  I do have another float master in 4 1/4 inchs and in black with standard line lays.

The new one is 4 1/2 inch diameter, as you can see it's anodised a grey colour and it has stepped up line lays which are a bit stronger.

i  love his reels as every detail is just perfect.

Couldn't resist giving the new reel a spin and managed a couple of hours out trotting this avvey.

The reel is a credit to Chris's reel building skills....what a reel !

Bit of white gloss and it will be stunning !

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Thank's Bartman, not quite that long ago, but, I rekon it will be a good five years since I ordered it.

I waited 5yrs for a spitfire off Chris.  There was a thread on here when I actually ordered that reel, and then I posted on that same thread when I got it 5yrs later lol.
