Here is a fine collection of Shakespeare Narrow Spool I drooled over at the Pigeon Forge show. It was actually upgraded at the show, but I didn't get a photo of the new Intrinsic reel that was added, perhaps the owner, an ORCA member will post.

Warren Platt was my favorite person at this show! *****



Bill or anyone- can you tell me the specs and maker of the red and white casting line on those reels? Braided? Silk? Linen? Other? Test pounds or size? Is there a modern bulk producer of that line where I can purchase some to put on a few of my vintage tournament reels? I would hate to use the line from the vintage spools I have. Thanks.

Mike,
You might try the ACA http://www.americancastingassoc.org/. They still sell tournament line and I'll bet it's still the same. Colby

Thanks, Colby. I checked the website and it is very cool. However, the only line they sell is Cortland white braided line per my emails with Pat of the ACA.
