Need to re-line some stuff. Looking for a reel to carry >450' cave line or another primary. Anybody got one they're willing to part with at a fair price??

You could also contact Salvo for their "big boy reel".

It works good.

I carry the Salvo line of reels. They have a 400, 800, and a 1200. They are pretty nice reels. Let me know if I can help you out on a new one. The 1200 foot reel is slick.

When did you turn German? Hey you selling that reel you got from me already?

Curt

When did you turn German?

Ha, ha! You're the first one to notice!

I liked the little circle on Spångberg's name and wanted something like it.

Angie needs the reel more than I do. As the kids at school here say, I just wanted it for the showcase.

My Grandfather came here in 1936 from the Black Forest region I still speak a little german to mess with my wife.

So with your new found "umlaut" above the U in your name, it would be spelled UE in English and pronounced "Sluedge", like the vowel sounds in 'blue'.

Pretty spiffy if you ask me...

According to Wikipedia that is actually:

A heavy metal umlaut (aka röck döts) is an umlaut over a letter in the name of a heavy metal band. The use of umlauts and other diacritics with a blackletter style typeface is a form of foreign branding intended to give a band's logo a Teutonic quality. It is a form of marketing that evokes stereotypes of boldness and strength commonly attributed to peoples such as the Vikings; author Reebee Garofalo has attributed its use to a desire for a "gothic horror" feel [1]. The heavy metal umlaut is never referred to by the term diaeresis in this usage, nor is it intended to affect the pronunciation of the band's name.

Heavy metal umlauts have been parodied in film and fiction. In the film This Is Spinal Tap, David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean) opined, "It's like a pair of eyes. You're looking at the umlaut, and it's looking at you." In 2002, Spin magazine referred to the heavy metal umlaut as "the diacritical mark of the beast".

... boldness and strength commonly attributed to peoples such as the Vikings... a "gothic horror" feel...

Yeah, that would be me.
