ORCA at NFLCC Nationals

[Mike N]

Always great to see ORCA’s 2X casting champion George McCabe, shown here with a very narrow spool Meek Horton No.2. What a fantastic reel.

If anyone was wondering why the local baseball team in Ft.Wayne is nicknamed the Tincaps, here ya go:

Messrs. Wickham, MCabe and Nogay mull over a few reels. From the photo, it appears their discussion will have a good “net” result.

Hey Mike, was George buying or selling that narrow spool Horton?

Showing it, Bill. It is really sweet.

This captures the essence of the NFLCC and ORCA:

Fantastic photos, Mike. Thanks for posting all of these, with IDs. Great to see so many folks and some great reels there.

[Mike N]

Thanks, Richard. One last post before we pack up and head home. How about a couple of “Heddon” shafted golf clubs with leather grips and persimmon heads? I’m told Heddon was making antennas for the government during WWII and this was a brief segue into golf clubs....

Thanks to everyone involved for all the great pictures/videos posted here on Reel Talk as well as on the ORCA Facebook page. It is great to see all the reels and ORCA members. I am sorry that I was unable to attend but thanks to you I got a sense of what it was like to be there.
