Any body collect spinning reels? Got a Question

[Robin Sayler]

I picked one up the other day among a group of reels in a box and I'm just curious about it.
On the side it says Scotchline #200. Pretty straight forward reel the bail closes when it hits the knob on the leg, and the lever next to the handle is the antireverse.

Thanks for any Info.

I collect Airex and I found a Japaneze made reel the other day, (cant remeber the name) that had the same spool housing, bail wire, and bail wire pivots as yours pictured. I have several Airex Apache reels in my collection that have the same configuration. HMMMMM Bob H.---->The Airex Guy

jump usa , OK you 2, I bought a deal from a tackle store and what was in it , but a lot of brand new bail wires that fit these low end reels including the (707 ZEBCO spinning reels) Whom ever designed these things actualy done us a favor, they will go either right of left, NO bail spring to worry about that is always breaking, and if these bail wires get bent , it easy to re bend and presto, your back in business and fishing again, (Note) I have at least 7 different reels that use that preloaded spring wire! I belive it was way ahead of its time! Your Ohio Conection On a very wet Lake Erie, Col. Milton lorens aka SWIM JIG .

younguy,
According to Ben Wright's book Scotchline was "made in Japan" circ. 1960's. They offered a 200,225,400,600 and 750 model.The 600 was a Mitchell 300 copy. The 750 was saltwater. Price ranges from a wopping $20-$30. A box would be a bit higher. Hope this helps.
