Let's Talk Kayak Fishing / Reel Rebuilding/Modifying?
« Last post by Squidder_K on May 29, 2024, 11:59:33 AM »
Any one rebuild there own reels, or modify them?

I have done a lot of older Penn conventional reels, a couple of Diawa's, and some Abu Garcia's.  The Penn's have parts for days and the limit to what can be done is really up to you and your imagination.  I will try and post some of the reels I have built over the years.

I really like the Abu 6500 C4 Line Counter paired up with a Trevala.

I am Weber guy and have used the 22" Kettle for a lot of things fish included, following Alton Browns episode where he smoked fish in a cardboard box, I tried adding an electric burner, sawdust in a cast iron pan and it works.  I haven't tried in my 18" Weber Smokey Mountain yet, but I think it would work.  Sorry no images.

They are lot lighter than what is currently being made.  I may go for the water snake motor later. Right now, I have a cassette plug in the drive hole, and it paddles pretty decently.

 I was down at Gig Harbor Fly Shop and checked out a newer drive to see if would fit, and it did not not.  I have to find an old unit. or just paddle for now.  The guy I bought it from was also a shipyard employee (club fed terminates people clearances if you get picked up for stealing stuff, so I am 99% sure he didn't light finger it).

BI has some decent coho and pinks, not to mention some Ling fishing with in range of shore.  I am in East Bremerton and have fished out there from my boat. Avoid Agate passage, and the south end of Bainbridge aka Rich Passage.  Both places can get extremely rough on positive high tide days, if you do get stuck in there, ride it out till the far end or head to shore.  There is also some decent crabbing off of North Bainbridge as well (so I am told, I see plenty of traps on Sundays and Mondays(our days to crab in season)).

Thank God, someone else who doesn't pedal.  Glad to have you here.  Have fun in the forum.

Yes, want to stay paddle style to keep costs down. May add a motor for trolling someday, but for now the workout is good!

Recently picked up a Bending Branches Whisper from REI on sale, that helped a LOT compared to the paddle pictured
