Langley Whitecap 410: Age and Value?
Langley Whitecap 410: Age and Value?
A customer brought in a Langley Whitecap 410 star drag baitcaster and asked its age and value; she wants to know if she should fish it or not. It's in excellent condition. Thanks in advance.
ak-fish,
Hell yes she should fish it.They are nice reels to throw bass plugs with.The only thing that I don't like about them is they "click" when you retrieve the line.That is because of the way the drag and anti-reverse is made.Other then that a fine,rugged reel.
In my opinion not as smooth a casting action as my Pfluegers or my Lurecast but a nice old reel that isn't direct drive.One can get deceant (<spelling)distance casting plugs.I don't use under 15 lb test mono with mine.
I've got 2.Both bought off ebay for around $30.00 including shipping.
In fact I'm going to use mine tomorrow as the post spawn topwater bite is getting real good out here.
