Mike some fine reels and Pflueger accessories you got there! Thanks for sharing.

Just found out I won a Sci Angler Shark Skin line at the Bears Den show so now I have super cool line to try out on one of my empty reels.

Thanks Mike.

Those 2 1496.5 reels are my favorites in the collection. I haven't purchased anything from onepfoot previously but would like to get a pawl and spring kit for a backup since I have a number of these reels-

Hi Jeff,
thats a very interesting model Medalist. it has the six rivets ,amber knob ,metal spool cap & the sculptured pillars .I haven't seen one with these features & not have the round line guard .Pflueger must have just been switching over to the flat guards .Very nice reel. Man , they have a class & character the new reels just dont capture.Have you ever checked out onepfoot.com
All the Best,
Mike...bamboo

I love the Pflueger reels too. The vintage reels with the swirls in the plastic are nice and the metal tab yellow knobs even better! I have a soft spot for the four clickers!! I picked up this one last year and gave it a complete take down, thorough cleaning and a tune up including fresh lube. The drag was all gummed up but she cleaned up nice. Just has a slight bend in the spool where the knob was pressured probably during transport at some point in its long career but still a very fine functional bass buggin reel! I actually was just working on another one tonight that is in even better shape and should clean nicely.

Hey John ,
Thanks for the kind welcome. I really like the Old Pflueger Medalist reels (Akron).Use mine for all fresh water fishing .I collect & refurbish & upgrade them too .Just wondering if any of the other Bass Pond members do the same. Those old reels just keep working ,year after year . Tough to beat them.
All the Best ,

Mike,
Great to see you again, hope we can get together this coming season... Hope those flies will put some fish in the boat. Let me know if you need some other flies and I will gladly send you a variation of some of my flies that have worked for me.

Welcome aboard Mike (Bamboo)!
Glad to meet you at the Bear's Den show. Wasn't that a outstanding event....As I stated earlier, we are just a bunch of fun loving warm water fishermen who like to fly fish, chew the fat, share flies and strategies, and get together for fishing trips. We fish for anything from Bluegill to Pickerel, so just jump in, pull up a chair and chat about anything on anything fly fishing you want and folks will respond, share ideas and have fun with the forum... Hope we can get together this coming spring Summer fall and cast a line... plenty of places to fish just no enough time to fish them...
Bamboo, Thanks again for joining and for posting
Tight lines
Gillbuster
John

Great to see Alec, John and everyone else at the Tisdale table! After this next storm, and the prediction is for 10"-15" for greater Boston area in the next 24 hours, I will be ready to open the seasson. Alec you know where I want to go first

Wee Hooker & STS Gang,
Here is the announcement for the Bears Den Fly Fishing Expo this Saturday, 28 Feb 2009 in Taunton, MA. Scott, owner of Bear's Den was thrilled to have our group attend his show again this year; we were a big hit last year. It was good marketing for the Bear's Den and great exposure for our group. As you can see from the link, there is a lot of focus on Salt Water Fly Fishing, which is great because we will be one of the few tables focused on Warm Water Fly Fishing. The direction to the show is on the link below, it is from 11 am - 7 pm. Alec (Fly tackle) will be tying his classic Bass Flies (they are beauties) and I will be tying some kind of bass bug of some sort... We will be there all day. Come by and visit if you can, spend time with some old fishing pals, bring your friends and family, chew the fat, come and tie some flies if you would like, if you don't know how, no problem... we will teach you...there will be plenty of material to...

John, any update on this? Wondering what hours you intend to staff a table? Not sure what time I'm getting there but will help if I can. I can do anything but tell people how great glass rods are

Just spoke with Scott at the Bearsden Fly Shop, he just reserved the Holiday Inn in Taunton for annual Bearsden Fly Fishing Show, Saturday, February 28, 2009. I signed "The Bass Pond" up for a table to show off our STS group and am willing to set up another display table again. Last year, we had very favorable comments on The Bass Pond group. The vintage flies that Alec displayed and tied were a big hit. There was a lot of interest, talk & was only a couple warm-water tables other than Armand's awesome United Fly Tyers Bass Bugs display. Mark your Fly Fishing calendar and will be looking for STS folks to attend, participate next Feb.
