This logo rings a bell ......

Post by reeltackle »

This logo rings a bell. I believe someone might have posted on the board a few years back. Does anyone recognize it and know the company that made the reel?

If I remember right there was some discussion 3 or 4 years ago about something similar and whether or not it was a pelican or a stork.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

Here is a clearer look at what I believe is the same logo on a JW Young reel sold by a Scottish retailer:https://www.thomasturner.com/wm-roberts ... tork-logo/

Good find Paul. John tell an interesting story about the logo. That stork has a nice size fish in it's bill.

Thanks Paul, that's the one.
Tommy, yes, I remember that too but I couldn't find it.
Steve, you've gone all Jurassic on me again.
