GBW Posted May 26, 2016 Report Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) your guys "surfing skills" are very good. As I mentioned to Rick via FB msg, this is a reel that will be passed down to my kids like some do with rings. It still works like new too... Edited May 26, 2016 by GBW
dave524 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Yeah Ill upload em geoff Looks like an old multiplier fly reel, maybe an early Martin ? Edit ooops missed a few posts Edited May 26, 2016 by dave524
Old Ironmaker Posted May 26, 2016 Report Posted May 26, 2016 Very nice reel Geoff. That's the kind of stuff I look for. Old Bakelite reels, knuckle busters and steel rods. I have a shoe box full of Mitchel's now. Not enough walls to mount them. This site is slower than the Raptors tonight.

GBW Posted May 26, 2016 Report Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Very nice reel Geoff. That's the kind of stuff I look for. Old Bakelite reels, knuckle busters and steel rods. This site is slower than the Raptors tonight. It is a "gem" in my eyes and may never be used again but it's a fully functional fly reel ready to go and my kids (I HOPE) keep it on a mantel like I do now. My father is still alive and kicking (closing in on 65 ((only)) in 2 weeks) but we all have a keepsake of a moment right? This reel is mine and SORRY Rick for a bit of a hijack here (in my eyes it was) but we all have a moment in out fishing history we cannot let go or want to keep close. I have never seen my father use said reel but he was the man who got me into this lifestyle. As for "the Raptors" is that a new storm or rapala bait? Edited May 26, 2016 by GBW
manitoubass2 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Posted May 26, 2016 I derail threads all the time ??? No worries Great plan to by the way!
dave524 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Posted May 26, 2016 All of the old stuff I've got from the 50's and 60's , I can tell you where I bought it, new. The French made a lot of excellent tackle back in the 40's and 50's, everyone knows Mitchell spinning reels but Luxor's were arguably a better reel and Pezon et Michel gear was for the elite. Dad was one of the original gear junkies
