Just rediscovered this reel while sorting out fishing gear! Gave it a clean and an oil and put new line on it. It was the first sea reel I bought and still works perfectly....screw in handle and feels really nice. No grinding when turning ....cant wait to use it again after probably 30 years tucked away. No rust except on the screws and rear drag still works great.
Anyone else still use old reels?
As an aside...ive just counted up all my rods....16 of the bloody things! How did that happen?
