Gene L 0 Report post Posted February 8 A ringer. It's in pretty good shape but it's got the old pattern reel seat. I don't want to add much to the price I paid but I wonder if there is a solution other than taking a Dremel tool. Advice will be greatly appreciated.

Gene L 0 Report post Posted February 8 Thanks flytire. But the reel feet prices are a bit out of my budget. I have a rod that works fine with the original reel foot. The reel I have is an old one, says "Patent Pending" on the spool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted February 10 I guess I don't understand the problem. I have a couple of those reels and didn't notice anything different. Can you enlighten. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted February 10 I did some reading and I'm starting to understand now. The foot is too long for some rods. If I run into that problem with my reels, I'm grinding the foot. So far all I've had to do was some creative fit-work on the reel foot rings to accept the reel foot. IE squishing and squeezing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My reels never met a rod they didn't like completely though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niveker 0 Report post Posted February 12 All but one or two of my reels, out of at least a dozen and a half, are Pfluegers, either Medalists or Gems. I can't recall ever having an issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has it been taken over by someone and kept going? Website sure looks good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
