Ocean City 112--Cast Control?

[cbar45]

I came across this photo of an OC 112 with a peculiar-looking left side bushing.

A seach on the subject wasn't very helpful.

Is this early an early form of cast-control, and if so how did it work?

Yes.

It is a fluid filled hub.

I asked the same question.

Thank you very much John, and thanks Mike for posting the original instruction sheet for "Fluid Filled Hub".

An interesting device indeed, one that uses the properties of heavy oil to make a fast-spinning spool manageable.

These fluid hubs pop up from time to time, except if you are looking for one!
