Is there a similar list for fly and/or spinning reels from Wards?

From: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14466&hilit=sport+king

Ron and Ben, thank you! We are on the way! We will create lists on the spinning and fly reels too! Most salt water reels are already in the Ocean City site. We will do nicer looking lists with proper line spacing! We then will kill this list and add the new ones! I already gave Mark a couple of these 1950ish MW catalogs, after I pulled out what I needed for the OC and Bronson sites. At the time I did not reelize we were going to catalog the spinning and fly reels for the ORCA search and the ORCA Fishing Reel Research website! This again is something that we should have started along time ago!

Although, I don't think the expanded list ever actually materialized after Robert passed .

The expanded list for both casting and fly reels was completed by me in Feb. of last year. It was given by me to either Rick H. or Jim Madden. What was done with them, I have no idea. If I remember correctly, they were supposed to be posted to the Research site, but they obviously never were. I still have both completed & updated lists (fly & casting reels). Maybe I should post the fly reel list on Reel Talk or, if anyone is interested, they can PM me for a copy. There was never a list compiled for either spinning or salt water reels. Robert died before we made it that far.
Note - The casting list shown above is almost complete. There have been a few additions since that was posted.
