Taggart model 10

[nunc]

has anyone encountered a Taggart spinning reel other than just in passing ?  Would dearly love to see a schematic, maybe browse some disassembly / assembly instructions.  This is as far as I got. If it doesn't show up, drag is adjusted by turning the entire housing ... if I counted right, about 4¼ complete revolutions from full lock to full slack. It somewhat reminds me of some the higher end spincast Float reels like ABU 505, Shakespeare Match, but without a Bell in front.

BTW, I have no idea how it casts or retrieves, I have yet to get it to do anything that resembles disengaging a line release or engaging a line pickup, although there is a pin visible in the upper end of the 'gadget' (photo #5) that looks like someone cut a piece off a finishing nail ... it was rattling around loose in the whatchmacallit when the reel arrived, and I put it where it in the hole in the gadget ... really have no idea if that's where it actually belongs


other than that

I have never seen a schematic, but someone on this site must have a nib with paper work.

I looked up the patent. Check out the pdf for a detailed description.

Good luck and Merry Christmas!

 reel pictured in the patent is shown mounted into the back end of a hollow rod that would be absolutely unique to that type reel.  My Model 10 mounts on a conventional spinning rod, its the casting / retrieving, and disassembly that so far has me stumped

That's an interesting piece of machinery he got there
