Today, 9/26/23 I used the Sidewinder Model 80 Demo that Al sent.  Put a larger handle and used a spinning rod.  What a difference from the old handle.  Caught this catfish with the 80.  Reel started acting up when the free spool button stopped working.  It kept popping up while casting.    Also took the Johnson Century 100-A out today.  Skip gave me this reel in 2016 when I told Skip I never used a spincast reel before.   Caught a striper with the reel.  Now I have over 30 Johnson and Zebco reels thanks to Skip, DustyJoe, Timmy, and Vicky.

Yes, both fish were great fighters and pulling out drag.  Reel kept falling off rod while fighting fish.  The rod had slip rings, and they sure did slip.  Drag worked surprisingly well.  Seemed to take forever to reel fish in with the small handle.  Junked the slip ring rod and changed the reel handle to a larger one.  Ready to try the reel again.

Al sent me a Johnson Demonstrator Model 80 Sidewinder a few years ago.  I took it out and used it for the first time and caught a striper and catfish with the reel.  Thanks Al.

I was sadden when I heard that Al had passed away.  Al is at peace now and no longer suffering from his long illness.  Al was very man generous with his time and knowledge.  We all learned from Al and will be missed by everyone.

I don’t use much fluorocarbon because of cost. I do use it for leaders for hooks when available.

Welcome. Yes, all the 100, 100A, and 110 have the clicker on the reels.  These are my favorite Johnson reels.  Love to hear the clicker go off when fish takes the bait.
