Could anyone please send high-quality photos of Lenz reels to be included in an article for Reel News? :bow:

I seem to recall Tom Harwood of WA and Geezer having those reels to share at the Fire, WA National.

Thanks, Sid. I hope I have enough inspiration left to actually write the article. :bash:

A non-ORCA member emailed me these photos of his Lenz reel. Has anyone information about this I may share with him? I think the J.M. Gauntlett Co was in Issaquah, WA. It would appear that there aren't many of these around.... any help is appreciated.
