Duplex Bass Reel

Post by laker1 »

Just found this reel. I am curious as to value - you never know sometimes.
I suspect it was made in the early 50 s . There is no markings other than Duplex Bass. Seems rather small, tinny. Was going to throw it out but thought I should inquire first. If anyone knows please advise. Going thru my Mum’s tackle box and know that there are some special things there.

Hi Jim, a picture would help to be sure, but the reels that I have seen marked Duplex Bass are likely lower end Montague produced reels that have minimal collector value, probably in the $15-$25 range in EX condition.
Wanted: Horton, Bristol & Meek reels, reel boxes, and catalogs!!!!

No the one I have is in more of a bait caster style in I guess aluminum.
