Then he added some pictures of the reel,Mike, thanks for all your insight to Penn reels.....but I do have a question regarding a reel I cannot find info on....it's a Roll's Engineering Model 300....the company was listed out of Los Angeles, Ca.....I got this reel from my dad who states he bought it from a "wino" on the Santa Monica pier that needed money for another bottle of liquid libation.....this was back in the mid 50's and was attached to a Harnell Rod that "was built like a 2x4".....the rod is long gone but I do have the reel....it's about the size of a jigmaster and the sheet metal side plates have been factory jeweled.....any help would be appreciated...
I have never seen this model before, can anyone help with the identification of this reel and possibly any history about it
