Years ago, I tried tracking down any of the club descendents to see if the reel is still around. No luck.

That's quite an interesting article. I like the part about water being 200 feet back 100 years prior, and I especially got a kick out of "there can be no question that possibly". :lol: Good thing they hadn't heard of Global Warming back in them days. :roll:
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

That’s an interesting 1918 story, Steve. It reminded me to start a thread about a 1919 event that remains a mystery...
