Hi All,
Anyone know who made this? picked up along with a true temper rod/reel combo. Handle looks of Shakespeare lineage to me. Bearing caps look similar to those that were on the true temper. Reel is very well made and smooth with an almost tournament caster feel and look to it. No maker marks or numbering inside or out.

Re: Interesting rod/reel combo
It looks like a toolmaker made it to me. I can not tell from the pics but everything I can see looks fairly easy to make with a little skill in the machine shop. Also the screws holding on the side plates seem to be countersunk to different depths, just can not tell without it being in hand. This is just my opinion.
I am looking for any Indiana style reels that I don't already have in my collection. I have all kinds of reels and lures and some cash to trade for the ones I need.
