Can anyone tell me if they are familiar with a Longfellow baitcast? I can get one for 3.50

Ray, Lawsons 3rd edition page 95 list it a $5.00 so it may not be a (reel treasure) however it will be a addition or a trader someday, Most likly it was made by bronson, also there are spinning reels with name Longfellow and they too are made in Michigan, Col.

hey JDC; Don't beleive every thing you see in a book, supply and demand is the most importaint.
I've seen very few old bait castors , that I wouldn't give 3.50 for and just love to find them at yard sales.

For 3.50 you can alway throw them back and wait on the demand, or part them out to another poor fellor thinking he has a gold mine..
