I think these reels are marked "patents applied for". Does anyone know if a patent was ever issued and what the patent number is?
Thanks

Well, Clem certainly went to school off the Fly Champ design, but I think his reel was better made...nice work! Looks like he didn’t replicate the brake tension setting (?) that looks to control tension on the gear?

Is this like the old Re-treev-it fly reels?
Does the finger trigger rotate the spool?
