Narrow spool reels
Re: Narrow spool reels
Here are 15 narrow Shakespeare Spools. Arbors are Cork, Wood, and White Plastic. One of the 2 packs is for Shakespeare 1973GE. This has a Cork Arbor: p/n NEA3817CL. Another Cork 4pack spool is numbered KEB3900K, but has same dimensions as the1973GE spool.
One spool with normal metal arbors has p/n KNE3836 STD. Many spools still have what looks like factory marking. The Wood arbor spool part number is 44NEA3733. Plastic arbor Spools are not marked.
Here is a view of some normal standard Size Shakespear Arbors NOS.

Re: Narrow spool reels
This post has brought out many wonderful pictures or narrow spool casting reels. When you are dealing with these reels it is nothing but fun. They are out there for the taking...but some are pretty tuff to come by. Which brings up a question on this post. Does anyone have a 1950 narrow spool Ocean City to show?

Re: Narrow spool reels
Colby, here's one for you that's a bit different:
This is a Montague converted for tournament use. I used it in a couple of ORCA casting contests and did OK. I'm not sure who owns the reel now.

Re: Narrow spool reels
The Premier Tournament is a Montague reel and is not really a tournament reel. It just carries the name. The only true Montague made (not modified) reel I have seen is the Free Spool which is a light salt water reel. some of those came with or could be ordered with an aluminum spool and a wood spool filler.

Re: Narrow spool reels

Re: Narrow spool reels
It's not a simple task to post photos but if you can download a photo from your camera to your computer, you can do it. Do you have the capabiluity of doing that?

Re: Narrow spool reels
Found a nice South Bend 60A on my recent 3300 mile trip to and from Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin. The only reason I am posting the pics is the difference in the handle on my 60A and the 60A presented earlier. I would think my reel is an earlier production, or the handle has been changed. I hope for the former.

Re: Narrow spool reels
Your counterbalanced handle is from a much earlier South Bend or Shakespeare reel.

Re: Narrow spool reels
If you are enjoying this post with all the pictures of fine narrow spool casting reels, you might want to make a copy for future reference. The reels being shown are a very good representation of the gory days of tournment casting. Wonderful pieces of precision equipment made here in the United States.
These reels are out there waiting for someone to find them and restore them to the wonderful pieces of casting machines that they once were.
This hobby is fun and it is much more interesting to be casting and and playing with the reels than watching them gather dust in a disply case.

Re: Narrow spool reels
What exactly is the definition of a Narrow Spool Reel? I have some reels which are shown but I don't know narrow from Adam?

Re: Narrow spool reels
I think this thread has turned into a pretty good visual definition of what a narrow spool reel is. You really can't have one set of dimensions that would apply to all reels.
