This is my baby. i picked it up a few weeks ago for £100.
It dates to around 1975 when the first millionaire reels came out.
It has never had line on it let alone been used.
The only let down is that there is no paperwork with it :'(
If anyone has the correct paperwork to cover a UK reel i will pay for it

That's awesome. I assume you lifted the cardboard and looked under.

I just realized I don't own any daiwa baitcasters. Aaaaand here we go again.

I've got a used reel like that too. Missing a few bits but fishable.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Probably not too much, some of you guys don't have at least one of lol!
Many of these, have found their way on to the tournament casting field!
Was always intrigued by these, but hard to find them in nice shape nowadays!
Very popular, because they just about all have the center mag!
Certain models of the millionaires, go up to $700 retail, just stock, no upgrades!!!

Looking for this?  A little worn on the edges.  It doesn't specifically mention your reel.
