Quillback Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Drove over to Indian creek launch yesterday to check things out. Launch is open, no ice, same for Lost Bridge North. Walked down the bank a bit tossing the Ned around - caught a nice 17" smallie, the only bite I had. Found a rod/reel setup on the bank with a Whopper Plopper tied on. Looks to have been in the water a few months, anyway had a Revo XLT, which as far as I can tell is an older model, maybe 20-30 years old. It's pretty worn, so thought it might hold sentimental value to whomever lost it, so if it is yours, PM me and I will get it back to you. I realize it is unlikely that I will hear from the owner, so if no one claims it, I'll be happy to send it to someone that wants it. And if no one wants it, into the trash it will go. tho1mas 1
Quillback Posted January 21, 2018 Author Posted January 21, 2018 It is, and probably worth more than the pole and reel combined. Daryk Campbell Sr 1
Bushbeater Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 I love the old XLT reels. I have about 6 I still use regularly. A good clean one will outcast my new Diawa Tatula.
Bushbeater Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 I got the old reel working. Only had to replace a C clip and switch out the handle. Looks like heck, but seems to work fine. Says something about the durability of Abu reels. It was probably underwater quite some time, as it was about filled with sand and mud. The reel on the right is how it should look. Quillback 1
Quillback Posted February 3, 2018 Author Posted February 3, 2018 Cool. glad to see it working, neat older reels. I think they made those late 80's early 90's. Bushbeater 1
