Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Mo, my 248 had felt washers instead of leather.


   I notice it has the same metals though...and the same order too. I thought it was odd that the wave washer is sandwiched between two friction washers. I'm not sure how the felt washers perform, but the leather ones produce an excellent drag, especially for such a rudimentary setup.

Found this old 248 ad online.  Good bargain on a quality reel.

Hello I recently bought a Heddon 281 and I wanted to take my 8 year old nephew to fish with it. Should I be concerned about the original paint used. Its not lead paint right? Any feedback would be appreciated thanks.
