Well, at the risk of being burnt at the stake by the "collectors", I gotta ask this question. If i were to pick up a 4"+ Salmon Perfect could i change her to a lefty without altering the integrity of the reel. If i were to remove the line guide to the other side i would 1- Be left with a "hole" and grooves where it set in the spool(I can live with that). 2- I would have to make the same grooves on the new side to enable the guide to set in. 3-what would you use to remove the guide and also what would you use to secure in the new area???Glue? Solder? Other? Another possibility,, are there independent reel smiths that can do this?? Bill Archuletta(sp?) Can hardy do the job or someone like HighFields? I am a Hardy guy, plain and simple,,, I own several perfects to 3 5/8" as well as St.Johns, and a new Bougle that is on its way.
I WANT a lhw Salmon Perfect but they just do not come along often,,,actually,,,I think they are a myth.
Help guys, maybe i am opening pandoras box asking this or maybe i am the only one who would deface a vintage Perfect for his own selfish reasons :saevilw: ,,,,either way,, the question has been asked!
Thanks, and please go easy on me
