Spring is in the air


For what was a mild and short winter it sure feels like spring has been a long time coming. (one m for G) My piscatorial adventures have been nil since my last epic adventure mid December 06. I have not forgotten my passion but merely set it aside while I enjoyed my family. Winter for me in early 2007 consisted of keeping the wood stove stoked and working at the challenges set before me with a new position at a different facility with my company of employment. It is nice to set things aside and renew the desire. My passion is November/December fishing but spring always gets the blood pumping. I welcome a new addition to my collection. I opted for the Stanton and have not regretted it. It is truly a beautiful piece and will complement the 5" Black Stanton addition from 2006. Classic by design and proven runners these reels have earned their place in Great Lakes steelheading history.

I am about ebay a couple of my float reels. I have decide to streamline a bit. I can't stand having things around that I don't use.

Steve,
I had the Black 5"er. I got it last summer. Picked it up from Jim Butler. Long story but it started on ebay and found it's way to my warm caring hands.
I love my stantons as much as my Islanders. Different animals but each hold their places in G-lakes steelheading.
