My first cradle

[Maxed Out]

 Always had a twinkle in my eye for a cradle reel setup, and finally scratched the itch.

 It's 1970's era with a 50 international. The seller said it was unused and I would have to agree with that assessment.

 I know zilch about this setup, so I contacted Randy Pauly and he said it was built at Anglers center in Newport Beach. The seller was clueless about it's origins. Thanks to Randy for his insight. Now I at least know something about this combo

Looks great Ted, is it a rude question to ask how much dollars, cheers Don.

 Not a rude question Donny, but if you must know, I'll just say, it cost an arm and a leg, but I still have 1 leg to stand on, so all is good !
