Old Reel I Found (Years Ago)

[Jack Jones]

I was cleaning out my tackle boxes last night in an attempt to re-organize crap when I found this reel in the bottom of one of them. As I recall, I found this reel about 20-24 years ago (darn, that time just flies) when I was with a buddy fishing at a small reservoir in Connecticut. I picked it up, like teenagers are apt to do, and stowed it away in case I needed a spare. Looks like a Southbend reel, but know nothing else about it.

I remember seeing those when I was a little kid - haven't seen one in a long time.I know someone who might know all about it - http://www.blogger.com/profile/05227788765970706674

One of these days I'll try to get off my butt and post some pictures of an early spin cast, a Wright and McGill circa the early 50's.

Looks like a South Bend Mitchell 300 copy...might be fun to find an old rod to pair it with. As for value, probably not much...but check closed auctions on ebay. Cheers.
