Isn’t this about the time Rod Sterling steps in and says something about a sign post up ahead.

I wonder if whatever the person used to put those numbers on the reel also unintentionally sealed the rubber underneath the letters (and googley eyes :shock:) and kept it from deteriorating while the rubber around it gradually wore away with age, exposure to the elements, and use, hence, giving it a raised appearance.

Benzene, toluene, xylene and similar solvents can make rubber expand. Someone probably used something similar on the surface, at least on the 5000C reel, to freak someone else out. :shock: Looks like it worked. :lol:
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)
