cheers mate its not a problem he can fix just thats what he does had a bit crack with him before he makes fast reels wich mine is no arguments there am sure he makes good money doing it there just well lets say not user freindly lol but fast def haha and as i say his paddle handles and star drags are mint if he done a mono mag throught the ratchet in my opinion would be alot better but others will disagree he seems a genuine bloke and seems to know what he is talking about and he does acyually sellhis reels as talking points and warns people there very fast and doesnt advertise them as a fishing reel

I'm not getting into arguments Russel either that never entered my head,what I'm trying to do is point out the engineering practices used are not correct and try and save you some money but.

That's a true saying Russel"proof of the pudding is in the eating" but also there's a saying.........."you cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear".
Best of luck.

Hi

What has casting got to do with this thread?, it’s about a cheap reel, having a bit of fun and unfortunately someone’s assumptions, which as I recall he got in my humble opinion totally wrong. At one point Harry Barker say' and I quote;
'After he butchered the side plate'

Well surprisingly I never did anything to it except undo the four screws that hold the badge on and put a brass insert into the hole that was already there. It was not altered in any other way.:rolleyes:

The whole idea of this forum is that it does not matter where you are, it is about the members opinion......If I lived down the road from you why should it make any difrrence?

BUT when one of those members starts verbally attacking you on the forum, you have to wonder about that members integrity…… It is a reel shame! He could have simply asked why I did what I did to the reel..!

Kind Regards

so as a company owner you think its big and clever to come on a forum and call people names? what advertising does that give of and he is voicing his opinion as you say your allowed to at anytime did he start name calling? no i defended your poor conversion to my 6500 by stating some good things about your parts if i knew you were such i arrogant pr##k i wouldnt have your bang out of order there mate
 
Well after seeing what happens to the Neptune after the conversion I can safely say I'd rather have a nice reliable 6500 as a fun fishing reel lol, in the long run ur going to need a lot of spools for the Neptune so I'd advise anyone to save up for an Akios shuttle :)

==========================================================
WOW,I feel so humbled and I'm famous now been been spoken about by a reel conversion company so good as yourself.

Lets start by saying I never ever called you as a person,I never insulted you or called you names.
I was pointing out to Russel how bad and unprofessional your reel conversions were and the engineering practices used were to say very shed in garden work.
Such a pity you then made a youtube video using my name and insulting me constantly.
The problem with your insults and your demonstration in this youtube of your super reel conversion,it has more flaws(floors) than the rocket in Gateheed,now been knocked doon.

I've just come off the beach tonight and picked up a bit driftwood,I've been whittling it down with my filleting knife and now got a nice 65 spool out of it,little out of balance but..hey will do the job, a tenna and it's yours.

Oh and by the way, please use the correct poundage of shock leader when using 150g leads...40lb you will end up killing some poor sole on a busy walkway.lol.
Don't give up your day job.
 
Hi Harry, Surely a wood lathe would be the right engineering practice for making your new wood Abu 6500 spool, you might need more than one!

Yep that very cheap reel has more holes than a colander but as I said at the beginning of this, was for a bit of fun but hey.....

Sorry about the typo its 60lbs Daiwa infinity shock leader. Me bad!

I won't give up my day job, my avatar may give you a hint.

Kind Regards

Best of luck with your reel conversions mate and I mean it.

Also forgot to say welcome to NESA and hope you can contribute to this forum in all ways.
And if you want to contact me,not in any argumentative way at all you can pm me on this site.

Hello,
I've just watched the second of those two videos and it did make me laugh, reminded me of one of those Paul Whitehouse sketches from "The Fast Show".

Anyway on a more serious note I don't like the comments you made on the video, in my opinion you are well out of order.
I have read through this thread and at no point have you been insulted by Harry. He made a few comments about the poor engineering practices in the modification of the reel and I agree with him.

You could have replied in a better manner, perhaps explaining that you were just having fun with this reel and that your other work is of a higher/better quality, (I hope).
Instead you reacted in a very immature manner by choosing to post an insulting video on youtube full of putdowns and sarcastic comments.
I'm sure, on reflection, you will agree that this was not the best of ways to reply.

I hate threads like this as they only detract from what is essentialy a friendly and helpfull forum.

Regards Ian

Great post Ian :thumbup:

There will always be differences of opinion on internet forums but I just can't understand why grown men feel the need to resort to petty personal insults.
