Huge, Heavy Duty Spinning Reel, No markings.

Post by drexelantiques »

I was looking through some fishing stuff at a local flea market Saturday. The dealer had a huge, and I mean huge, spinning reel. It had a fixed half bail,. and the spood diameter was near six inches. No markings on it at all. It had a grey painted body, a black plastic spool. The center drag knob in the middle of the spool was black, and had three sides. As big as it was, it looked to me to be at least 30 lb. line, and possibly more. Torpedo handle. The size of the reel dwarfed the foot, which looled like the most vulnerable part.

You sure stirred up my curiosity as what this reel might be. I would really love to see some pics of the reel. I can't say that I have ever seen a conventional type spin reel with nearly a 6" diameter spool! Anyway you could post some pics of the reel or email them? Randy
