Corsair spinning reel ???
Corsair spinning reel ???
Some one just sent me a well used large spinning reel, brand name "Corsair". Also marked "custom made sea-river-surf". Black. Looks like some of the old Mitchels I used to surf fish with. Any ideas as to value. Please, and thanks in advance. Ron
Corsair Reel
Ron,
Ben Wright has the Corsair reel listed in his 3rd eddition on pages 104 & 105. It is a French reel made by Fraser around 1951. Value depends on condition but the black one is listed at $100 in mint condition, blueat$150, and Carmelat$165. Nice Reel! I hope not to get into trouble with any Mitchell collectors but they have a much better gear system than the Mitchells. I have a carmel colored one and it is a sweet reel. Randy Heller
