Unusual gun metal SA reel- help please?

Post by JoeW »

Just back from my Saturday rounds. Picked this up just because I've never seen one before.

No markings whatsoever! Real nice "blued" or gunmetal finish on Stainless Steel? Single action. Big double rubber grips. Ribbed spool. On-off click button- clicks works both ways when "on". VERY well made! Smooth- almost seems like ball bearing?

First thought it was a HD or SW fly reel, but I don't think there's enough clearance between spool and pillars to hold fly line, let alone backing. Is this one of those Single action casting reels that "ended backlash"?

Help and/or opinions or guesses. Don't think it's anything terrific, but very curious! Thanks in advance. Best--- JoeW
