Butch, I don’t remember seeing those on my visit with you,,, did you recently find a forgotten Fin-Nor warehouse in Key West??

Beautiful reels! By the way, I think of you as my very close brother

They must have kept all the Fin Nors in Florida. I have never seen one here in coastal Virginia.

Beautiful reels, Butch. I can't believe you are the same guy I bought a tiny, little Coxe 25 from several years ago in one of our many visits to the Keys!

Wayne,
Thanks for the kind words.
I have scoured the earth near and far and still looking for that one more Fin-Nor. They are getting hard to come by. I still keep a few of those small reels around for fun. Hope you visit Key West in the future.
Butch
