South Bend 800 Smooth Cast Direct Drive Model A

Post by fandl »

I just acquired this reel with a bunch of old tackle. It needs cleaning and servicing. Is the reel worth getting this done?
Thanks,
Frank Carter

If you want to fish it, absolutely you should get it serviced. Otherwise, they're not highly collectible.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)
