Identify Reel

Post by SJaime »

I found a seemingly old reel and haven't been able to find any information about it. I tried googling it but couldn't find it. If anyone has any information and recognizes this reel I would appreciate it.

This is a closed faced spinning reel. Searching old eBay listings showed this info:

Product Identifiers
BrandBass Pro Shops
WM40
eBay Product ID 548143440
Product Key Features
Fish SpeciesCrappie, Bass
Fishing TypeFreshwater Fishing
Gear Ratio3.6:1

Looks like Lews Fishing Reels also featured Wally Marshall Signature Series reels, but it is likely that Wally Marshall may have endorsed many different reels.

It's just as is says on the reel, Wally Marshall (Mr. Crappie) endorsed Signature Series UL & sold by Bass Pro Shops. It's not a very old reel. It's the same reel as the Daiwa Underspin US-40 XD that can be bought today.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)
