Info on Redifor Beetzel needed

Post by Robin Sayler »

I just picked up a pretty neat levelwind reel made by Warren Redifor. It has a fish on the top with his name under it and says beetzel under the crank there is a brake on the crank side and no sign of a clicker. It has a neat level wind that folds down if you crank backwards and also the reel freespools when you do this. any info would be appriciated and i'll see if i can get a picture up in the next couple days.

Is this the one with the winding plate in place of a crank handle? - I love that reel.
