Reclaiming old, broken reels is my new hobby, mainly because I love to tinker with mechanical things, things that people consider broken and unfixable generally aren't, and I'm cheap. I got this reel at a Goodwill for $5 and I think I paid a lot for it. But it has beautiful lines! Took it all apart, lubed everything, tightened everything, put new line on it and it works just great.
It really is a beautiful little reel. I paid another $5 for a Quantum Iron rod with teflon inserts and BRAND NEW! The reel can be had on the internet for $20 and the rod for $40. I have a $60 rig for ten bucks!
This set I have hanging in the garage down in Mount Dora, FL for fishing down there.
