Pflueger 1419 3/4 Templar

Makule, you classy and from Papaikou? My uncle's family was from Papaikou and my grandfather from Wainaku. But, I never got to fish for moi by the sugar cane factory when I was a kid. They said it was too dangerous; now I'm too old.

Bid on, and lost, a Templar that had very unusual side plates.  Black, but with red specks (hard to describe).  Never saw one like that before.  Hope someone here got it.

Cool reel. 

There are alot of these older Pfluegers floating around the islands.  Many are 'tricked out' with extra-wide stands/spools/posts, handle upgrades etc.  Folks started hotroding reels way before the internet.

Yup, I'm the one who got the marbled Templar. I'm a little new to collecting so not sure what these things are worth but I know what they're worth to me. I thought I did ok for $80, Thought it would go for more. I'll post some before and after pics once I get it dialed in. Something alluring about marbled plates, lost a last minute bidding war on a Abbey Imbrie with tri-color marbling a few weeks ago, still bummed about that one, hope someone on here got it and will post it up.

And congrats to Bryan for getting that cool reel as a gift. I have all the little fresh water Pfluegers...but you fellas have me thinkin' about these!

Yeah Mo if it's half as nice as that marbled reel you posted up awhile ago I'll be happy. That one you have is a real beauty. WOW

[Makule]

Congratulations on your win.  Glad you got it.

I'm one of the guys who used to modify those reels, and the Senators too.  Widen the spools, make new bars, etc.

Yes, I'm from Papaikou.  Have lived here for 60 years.
Still got some moi at the old mill, but not as much as when the area was full of bagasse.  Nothing dangerous about the place, but maybe the walk down was.  Now, there's a nice trail.

Thanks for your reply Makule. Hope I can try for the moi when I visit my daughter in Hilo. Maybe we can meet at Cafe 100 for the original loco moco. -Stan

Just let me know when you'll be in town.  I prefer Hawaiian Style Cafe.  They have the loco too and it's also very good.
