Brass Pflueger Progress Fly Reel $60

Post by Chris Diestel »

Price is shipped. Could use a cleaning or just keep the patina as it. You all are the reel experts.

Chris

Will get better pics today, it is sunny out, unlike yesterday.

I don't collect fly reels but you may be a bit optomistic. Lawson's price guide list that reel in gun metal or polished brass in the $20 to $40 dollar range and than's without a filed foot.

Don, thanks. I was going by one similar, but in better condition that sold for $170ish on the auction site. Took a stab at value and have dropped my price. The one I have avail. is the reel I have been using for quite some time.

Chris, some guy has been polishing those reels to high shine and making a killing off selling them to people the either like shiny things or are uneducated about them. there are a couple threads in the archives about these. As Don said, 20 bucks with a good tail wind without box.

That would be like pouring gallons of paint stripper on a 57 chevrolet, polishing the bare metal and calling it mint.

Everyone on the ORCA board is candidly, much better off, NOT dealing with this person. You need to know the why's? 1) Find out why he can no longer post on Joe's board or 2) email me.. This is a public service announcement for reel and lure collectors.
