Win a Piece of History
Year after year, our loyal fans continue to trust Islander Steelheaders to deliver for them on the river. That support has enabled us to reach an incredible milestone: 10,000 IS reels. Rather than set this reel aside for our own trophy case, we decided it belongs in the hands of someone who helped us get to this point so we're giving it away.

Good Luck!

Nice. I have a Steelheader packed away back at the folks place. They are nice reels. Back 20 years ago it was not uncommon to hit over a dozen Steelies a day and sometimes a lot more on a lot of the rivers on the north end of the Island, and my Islander never let me down.
Yep. Still have mine too, albeit a little dusty these years.Quote:

Way to go Matt!!
Congrats.....
Nice. Congrats Matt!
Ah Matt great to hear you won the reel. Many happy fishing seasons to come for you. Congradulations. You deserve it.
Congrats buddy on winning the IS... Couldnt go to a better person!
That’s awesome !
congragulations !,
Nice, congrats Matt
Congrats. They sure are fun to catch fish on.
Sadly there is quite a bit of dust on mine. One of these days I'll get out there again.
Karma....hmmmm.
Lets see, thought i read he has one already, "that is just sitting there getting dust on it" and was "considering maybe blowing the
dust off" (although with the regs or lack of, may have to leave the dust on still), wins a new one.
So hey, now you got "book ends"!!!
Anyways, congrats.
Always one in every crowd.Quote:

Nice attempt to put words in my yap though.
And manage to disparage me in some manner at the same time.
Anyway, your false congrats are suitably noted... and flushed.
To the balance of those who posted here, Many Thanks! https://www.tnof.ca/styles/default/x...s/Pozitive.gif
I am indeed more than happy.
One could say the proverbial wire brush could not remove the GRIN of late!
And I do very much have a plan in hand to hook up with some fresh chrome when they make their appearance here.
Also want to openly thank Islander for both putting this contest on, and for so many MANY years of fine service with their products.
This makes Islander Number Six in my collection!
I guess you could say I've been hooked for life!!
Cheers,
Nog
You got to relax buddy.
I thought you had commented on hoyts reels that he finished off and commented on the fact you needed to "dust yours off".
Now, if i got that wrong, and it was someone else, then my apologies, as yes, i did then confuse you with someone else.
And as for winning...i did sincerely mean congrats.
I just thought it was funny that the folks with luck tend to own those things anyways.
In other words, it never fails.
I have a buddy who wins everything, from a keg a beer to cars.
So, if i got it wrong on the original part, then just say so.
As for thinking "you know me"...you have no clue.
I guess when one forgets to put a "grinning emoji" at the then, some assume the worst of people.
So, if you think it was a false congrats, then you read "more into it"....not me.
IT was meant to make you laugh.
If that was the case I sincerely apologize!Quote:

A little tough to do these days what with being over a year in "medical isolation" - facing perhaps another year of the effing same, and now dealing with my Lady's Mom having 3 months or less to live (two provinces away, in a hospital, with NO visitors beyond her husband allowed).
The stress levels are heavy.
No excuse, just the way it is...
As for being Lucky, this is one of the few items I have ever won actually.
And I am indeed looking forward to spinning it through it's paces.
Once again - Apologies...
Nog The Stressed
No worries, we are both sorry.
I looked at the other thread, it was another member who had big praises for islanders reels (as everyone i think here does),
but that "his" were just not getting much use these days.
I made a mistake and thought it was you were that member.
I was just trying to make funny because of a win someone had.
You posted up for everyone to enter and you ended up winning.
It reminded me of browningboy asking more intel on the pitt lake elk leh, way before the results were even going to come out.
Raised a ton of eyebrows and all he could say was "he was going to win, he just had that feeling.
And ironically, he did!!
Some people do win always, and it is nice to see someone win who doesn't usually do so.
We have a running joke in my circle of friends that if there is an event etc, where prizes are possible, that "we dont invite Todd"!!.
Todd wins "everything"!
Its always nice to see an old 50 year married couple win the 6/49 who have very little but were happy anyways.
Much better then a guy in a 10,000 sq ft home already...that's for sure.
Nice reels, i dont own one but have had the pleasure to use them a few times.
Who knows, might see you out on the water this year using that new reel as i am hoping to get a trip out your way this summer.
Regardless of Covid restrictions!
Again...sincere congrats and sorry for the confusion.
Well Said, and Many Thanks!
That works out, let me know.Quote:

Sounds good....
And if you see a raffle prize for a Grady White, let me know, i need that more then a reel anyways right now:mrgreen:
Guess I can stop pinching myself now.
Until the postie shows up with the prize, there is always room for doubt.
No longer!!
