Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2024 That reel photo brings me to the one big Pflueger I still have - brand new in the box, that I bought as a spare tarpon reel more than forty years ago - and never had the occasion to use.. One of these days some collector will have it , I'm sure... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2024 Sorry to have taken so long - here's a pic or two of that brand new old reel... Believe this was after Pflueger was purchased by Shakespeare don't believe that earlier samples of this reel ever had the lettering shown on this example. This reel was bought as a backup for my early big fly reels and never placed in service. At the time, mid seventies, the only alternative was quite expensive by comparison - the Fin Nor or Seamaster reels, this was well before the first Billy Pate reels were made by Ted Jurascic.... One of these days this reel will get sent down the line to someone who collects them I suppose... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
