Re: RIP David Arbeitman Reel Seat
I go way back with Dave when he and Grant were in that small shop in PP probably about 35 years ago !
Over the years we became good friends and business associates . Several times he fished on my boat for fluke which as most bottom fishing he loved .
He was an innovator for offshore anglers and a mentor to a host of others .
Many years back when the fluke organization was fighting for a better season, we put together a deal with a company I worked with at the time AFTCO and designed and sold a fluke T Shirt which the owner of that company Bill Shedd
donated the profits from those shirt sales to Dave’s organization!
If memory serves we came to donate about 25k and that year it went a long way to insuring we had a better fluke season !
It’s a loss to all salt anglers due to the fact he always stepped up on your behalf !
RIP Dave you did more then your share .
