Question About Al Foss 3-25 Easy Control

Post by joe klaus »

Can anyone tell me who made this reel (Al Foss 3-25)? Obviously I need a screw for it but such is not easy to come by. (Lorraine: I'll trade you a pflueger daisy end cap for this screw :)

I've posted 6 or 7 pictures to a web site. I think all you will need to do is click the links to view the pics. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Joe--Quite sure made by Heddon the design seems to me to be
the same and the numbering system almost identical,on subject

of Heddon there is a Jack Welch reel on Joe`s Tackle site for only
$950, but needs much work...LOL--Jack Bright
