My buddy just found this neat reel has anyone seen one like this? Fisherman modified or factory?
I will try to get more pictures later

Looks like a mod of some sort. How does it function? Does the reel have antireverse, and drag capabilities?

That looks like a very slick after-market modification by a machinist to promote the cast life and prevent inertia. I love that type of American ingenuity. Great find.
