Help ID Reel handle

Post by Reelman2 »

I recently purchased a Heddon 3-15 reel with this handle on it. This is not the usual handle for the Heddon reels but if anyone has ever seen this one on a Heddon I would like to know. I have seen this handle before on a reel but not sure what it was. I believe it was on a reel with a freespool lever; perhaps a Montague or Pflueger. Let me know what it is for.


Collect mostly Ky style reels; Meek, Heddon, Horton, Pflueger Redifor and Worth, etc.

Dunno. Neat handle though. I measured three with square holes:
-Pflueger (Rocket): 8mm
-Ocean City (Seal Beach): 7mm
-Shakespeare (Hercules): 6.5mm
Don't have a Montague to check.
