Guest Johnny Bass Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Has anyone ever seen a baitcaster made out of plastic? Apparently it is an Olympic Triton 707. I brought it to Aikemans and he said It was a gem. Never bothered to ask him how much its worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioFisherman Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Johnny, I don`t think the reel is worth much. Up front price at the time of original sale has some factor in the worth of an older reel, quality reels when they were made usually command a higher price because price was a limiting factor in the numbers made and sold. The used to be a lot more different brands made and sold, a lot of stores had store brands made by reel companies but with a store brand name eg., JC Higgins I think was Sear`s home brand, Ted Williams may have been one for Sears also. It might have a little value to someone that collects that particular brand, but I see nothing special in that reel. I was into the older Abu`s, but did buy a Langley once, price was right and it was the first baitcaster I remember using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Bass Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Thanks. I'll just throw it on the pile of old reels I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyb Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 If you're feeling crafty, you can put together a shadow-box to display those old reels in, add some fishing pictures and you have a nice addition to the den... This is what i'm talking aobut...something along these lines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 If it is the "first of" plastic reels, might be worth some bucks. Its a gem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Nemo I asked that site way back about a real I had,they never to this day gotten back to me. It was about this reel,remember? I would say Johnny it is worth something,just dont trash it in a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
