Hi John, That's a first for me seeing it on that reel. Im thinking maybe an Australian addition some time ago or prototype. I say Australian addition/version only because some great machinist have produced incredible reels in Australia. I've an English Mitchell Henry big game reel that uses drum like brakes as well but on a much larger scale. Neat stuff!
