Reel identification

Post by Frank123 »

I have acquired a saltwater spinning reel which has the name 'Hurricane" on it. There are no other manufacurers identification that I can find. I am guessing on age but I feel confident it is over 25 years old. I also suspect it was purchased in the northeastern U.S. . If you can help me with the manufacturer or any relevant information I would appreciate it.
