jump usa , Dick, if my tired old frozen snowed on brain is corect? I belive that reel was made by Langley around 1960s, most likly 1963! Somewhere in THE RAT HOLE some of them exist! I dont remeber if mine are left or right hand ones! posibly someone reading this will have one or more of them, John Elder? you got any? or any Langly owners got one? Col. Milton lorens aka swim jig in OHIOs Frozen Waste Land!

Sorry...no reel with me, Milt. You'd think living around San Diego, I'd be wading knee-deep in them, but that isn't the case. So, Langley made a reel for Zebco? Must be a story in that!...or maybe I just haven't been paying attention

Hi everyone, Brunswick Corp. bought Langley reels in 1962 and made them part of Zebco. There are Langley Reels pre-1962, then there are Zebco Reels that were langleys, ie the 777,822, 830, 850, 860, and 870, these models were all right hand reels, the 834,864, & 874 were left handed reels that were special order from Zebco and are marked on the side plate as such. Zebco also made a branded version of the 850, 860 & 870 for A&F and they were called the "150 three" the 250 Ten, & the 250 Fifteen. Thought I would try and clear this up for everyone. Regards Dick

I have a set of 3 made for A & F, I thought they looked like Langely..Did Zebco make them?

[Dick Braun,that-zebco-guy]

The part we're still looking for is if both Langley and Zebco supplied reels to Abercrombie & Fitch or if A&F contracted with Zebco after Langley was bought out by Zebco.

[Dick Braun,that-zebco-guy]

There are two additional Langley/Zebco reels that were produced for A&F they are a model 200/Six and A Yellowstone that is the Model 777 but doesn't state so on the reel Just says yellowstone. I can't tell you what model the 200/Six is as I haven't seen one of them either as yet. But it looks like there were a total of 5 different A&F reels: 250/Fifteen, 250/Ten, 150/Three, 200/Six and the yellowstone. By the way I'm still looking for the 864 lefthanded reel.

Still looking for the Zebco 864, Langley Left Handed reels, they will be marked with a very small "L" in the silver square behind the number. and Abercrombie & Fitch Reels in left handed and the 200/Six model. I will be at the FATC Show the 19th and 20th Feb 2010. P.S. I'll be looking for Zebco reels also, boxed and not in nice shape and other Zebco Item's that I can add to the collection. Thanks that-Zebco-Guy, Dick Braun
