Langley whitecap model 410

Post by Sir fishalot »

Hello everyone,
IM seeking information about langley’s whitecap model 410.
How many models of the 410 did langley make?
Were they all level wind reels?
What year did they make the whitecap 410 without the level wind.
The reel i have is quite wide at 3 1/2 inches. The Spool measures 2 1/2 wide with 9 holes.
Having trouble finding information on the reel.
Thank you, Mike

Mike,

That's a wad of questions in such a short post!

The Whiecap models are covered in 2 pages in Colby Sorrell's and my book, "Langley Field tested tackle"

Snips below, enjoy.

Thank you Alan for the reply.
Im new to reel collecting.
Still learning how to research these vintage goodies.
I guess a lot of reading is in my future.
Thanks again, Mike
