pop-n-bugg 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2024 Just sprung for a mid 50's Pflueger 1494. Definitely not a closet queen reel. Got some paint missing with some bumps and bruises but it has some major character. I hope I am in as good of shape as it is when I am right at 70 years old. If I am not happy with it I can return it but I don't see that happening. Seller guarantees that it is in good working condition. Sub $40 price.

One way or the other a fine reel at a good price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It came with line on it so I am Put some dressing on it and see how it does. If it is too far gone, i have some brand new line to load the spool with. Life is good.
