Recently I have been collecting Winchester German Silver baitcast reels. I have been noticing the variations and differences of the 4160 and 4161. Can someone tell me why some that are unlabeled might be different from one another. For example,
I just purchased what I thought was a non-labeled 4160 but there are three pillars versus 2 on some. Did the seller not know the difference or are there variations of the 4160 and the 4161.

Wouldn't you know it. I can't seem to find that particular issue. I have the one before it and after it. Is it available online from ORCA

I believe members can read them all on line now. If that doesn’t work, i can dig out a copy for you.

That issue and all issues of the Reel News are available online in the members only area in the Reel News Index. I am surprised that is not well-known. Let me know directly via email if you need help or have any trouble accessing it.
