How much for this one? LOL

Might need to be respooled with fresh line.

I have seen 4000 year old artifacts recovered from Phonecian shipwrecks that looked better than that.

Be interesting to see how well it would come out though. We might be surprised. We have some really talented and clever expert reel restorers on our site!

Best, Fred

Send it to Dr. John Elder in San Diego. There's not much he can't fix!

I think I saw this reel on a big auction site: "Used once, mild boat rash - No Lowballers!" It would be cool to see what could be done but it would definitely take a lot of work and talent...- john

I bet Joy would really go for that.

Did you land the fish that dragged it overboard? That would be a hand full.

couple of hours in the ultrasonic cleaner with some "acid" and it will be all clean and good as new

Gfish · March 08, 2022, 03:20:47 PM

I'm bettin it can be done. Be interesting to see if any parts are fused together.
