Were these a special order item or an after-market add-on? I love the way it looks almost submarine/nautical with the 6-screws. PS. Is the box right, because it’s got a nice look, also?

Re: "Governor" on South Bend casting reel
They were an aftermarket drag handle produced by Meisselbach. The box is not correct.

Can't access the Bronson site right now, but I believe the box originally housed a Bronson-made trade model, perhaps for Montgomery Ward?

Dr.Todd— no, this is not mine. I just really liked it. The link to the eBay listing is above.Teal wrote:Mike,

Mark is correct. Sure-Stop is a Bronson trade reel. Not positive who they made it for. But the box does resemble some Montomery Ward that I have.
