Great post! I have the 750SS in a bin somewhere....totally worn out. The green 706 I fish occasionally was in Paul's shed during Frederick. He dumped all his flooded reels into a drum and covered with used motor oil until months later when he finally had time to go thru his tackle (after rebuilding houses etc). I saw the reel and gave him 10 bucks for it. That is still my favorite reel to catch a king on! Launching Panga in a bit.
