I have a close face reel that is odd. It has no markings & releases the line by turning handle backwards. I can't find anybody who knows who made it. May be a protype. I'll send you pictures if you think you might know someone who could help solve this mystery.
Thanks Glenn
Unknown Reel
HMMMNNN!!
To guest, several reels worked like that including Sout Bend, shakespere, bronson, pfluger etc, Now if you post pics of this reel preferably 3 to for views, both sides, front and back, one of us ORCA ns will identifie it for you, I will add they MUST be clear pics no blured or destorted!
