I'll have my camera and I will buy an extra card for it before I go. I think I can get nearly 10 min. of video with the card I have right now. Any suggestions on a card that will get close to an hour of video? The card I have right now is 1 Gig SD card.

I believe a member on here that goes by Craw has one of these boats. He has his fixed up real nice. I haven't seen him on here in a while though. Shoot him a PM.

Very well done! Great job and it looks new.

I think your Revo may be painted and not bare aluminum. I wouldn't suggest it. You can however apply a coat of good car wax that will give it some shine and protect the paint. This is what I do on all my painted reels and rods. Maybe The Natural will chime in and show the pic on his TD-Z that he polished up with wax. Talk about shine!!

Raul, get the small 7.5 volt version with the rechargeable battery. I have the larger version that you plug in but I always use the smaller version. It's way lighter and cost's a heck of a lot less. It will do anything you need it to do on reels. $80.00 versus $35.00 Just a thought.

First I completely disassembled the reel. Much easier to work with that way. Here is what I used: Mothers aluminum polish with a small microfiber cloth. Dremel tool with buffing wheel. I applied the metal polish with the microfiber cloth all over the outside of each aluminum part. I rubbed each part until a black haze appeared on the aluminum. I then used the Dremel tool on low speed to remove the polish. Make sure you use your Dremel on low speed or you'll be dealing with swirl marks on your reel. Keep repeating this process until you get the desired shine you want. This process took me a little over five hours but I am very picky with my reels. You may want to wear a dust mask when removing the metal polish with the Dremel. I suppose you could apply the polish with the Dremel, I just didn't want it throwed all over the reel. I would also be a little concerned with swirl marks if too much pressure is applied on the Dremel tool. Remember, use low speed.

No, but I just went to properties on the red x's and C&P and it works fine now. Thanks!! Sweet reel. I could see me fishing with that. My computer must like Daiwas too!!

I'm hanging my head in shame!! :'( LOL!!

I have to agree on the Purple Alphas being the best paint job. I have a couple of those too, but mine don't have those beautiful red spools in them. Another thing, every time I take a picture of my Alphas it looks bronze, every picture I have seen of your's they always look purple. I wonder why that is? :-?

I have read a lot of funny stuff this year but I have to give you the top honor in making me fall out of my seat. I literally LAUGHED OUT LOUD!! I found this place October 17, 2006 by Google on bass info. I lurked until March 2007. I am really glad I joined. I feel like I missed out on something if I don't get to check it out at least once a day. Always a blast coming here. Thanks guys and gals!!

Welcome Aboard!! Cool avatar! 8-)

Is anyone else seeing red x's or is it just me? I even tried turning off my firewall for a minute and still see red x's. I want to see this reel. >

Bring 'em on. That would make my day if you come up for a visit. I hardly ever have anyone to fish with, just the dog and the wife only if it's warm. My dog has a limited vocabulary of just 10 - 15 words so it gets a little boring.

Why not just buy a Shimano? 8-) Bite your tongue!!

Sounds like we missed a good party!!

I would rather have the house by the lake! Screw the hard drives!

Okay, after seeing RedlineRobert's new addition into his Daiwa family I had to show what I did this past weekend to one of my old additions. The Ito on the right has never been fished and is brand new. The one on the left will have two years use on it in March. The bare aluminum gets spotted over the course of the year from fishing. This was really bugging me so here is the outcome after a lot of elbow grease. Close up of the new shine. Looks like a Shimano now. Another one Send me your Ito Redline, I'll make it shine.

I saw this today in the paper and just shook my head. What's next? Hawgin, we're glad you got him. He's your problem now.

Just beautiful my friend! I should have done the same while I had mine apart. Maybe I will now after seeing your's. 8-)

My first two Kistlers were Graphite Plus series. The spinnerbait special and the crankbait special which I busted last year doing something real stupid. (using the rod tip to get a crank loose from a rock pile) I like them both.

You're not too bad at fly tying. Nice work!

I can honestly say I've never had the male end of anything anywhere near either of those places, nor will I ever.... ROFLMAO

I hear ya on the fish catching. Good job! Lots of people like myself like seeing those pictures to keep our sanity during winter. How do you like that Advantage Supertuned?

Finish cleaning and modding reels. Reorganize my soft plastics. Shop for more tackle like there's no tomorrow. Count down days until Guntersville trip. Visit with friends on BR. 8-)
