I had been looking for a model 2800 DE President II reel, they seem to be thin on the ground. Finally found an incomplete one, missing some bail parts and the spool, which is specific to that model because it has a quick-release mechanism, which a 2052 does not. I can create a Frankenreel with some 2052 parts but don't want to cannibalize my 2052s because they're too nice. Anybody have a cheap 2052 parts reel I can buy?
