a couple of reels

[Terry]

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about these

the first one seems to be some kind of self winding reel..made in Japan

 

the second seems to be a saltwater reel, it doesn't have a thinging that goes back and forth to keep the line even

but has a plastic knob on the handle, so can't be too old

Second one just looks like a Penn open reel. No "level wind". Many mfg's make this style of reel.

 

First one...I think it's a hand lining reel. Use them for hand lining Pickeral when drifting the river.

Yeah, the first one is a fly reel and the second is trolling type reel.

[Terry]

thanks, so I guess I need to take up fly fishing

 

the trolling one will work good for a muskie for lures in the prop wash a real loud clicker on it

The first one is an automatic fly reel. Oldtimers may remember the Canadian AL&W tackle company. Seems that reel was made offshore and imported by them, seeing it is stamped made in Japan.

Backtracked a bit on the previous link I posted, tons of pics of old Canadian/Ontario lures here, a few remember from my dad's tackle box
