Precisionbilt Fly Reels

Post by old1946 »



Hello All
Precisionbilt Fly made in the 50s Mosquito(brown) and Silve Moth with cases.
The mosquito is common the silver moth is semi rare but the complete cases are rare
because they are of thin plastic and survival rate is almost nil.
BELIEVE NONE OF WHAT YOU HEAR
HALF OF WHAT YOU READ
AND ALL OF WHAT YOU SEE.

Neat reels! Just don’t over-tighten the drag! It’s not very sturdy and easy to break if you get too rambunctious!

Nice clear face plates are tough to find as well.

Ron, yep… 3 times! The material used for circuit boards (micarta) works for repair material.
