Terry Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) 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. Edited May 17, 2009 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greencoachdog Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Yeah, the first one is a fly reel and the second is trolling type reel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 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.
