I ask because i have never handled one in person and a buddy of mine in the Outer Banks claims to have Release/Truth serial number 6.
Hi
Yes on the foot
#then the number in a numeric string
I have one of the early Release SM and a Truth SM that have no # markings. I just received a Siegler SM which does have # markings on the reel foot.
Same here, my Release SGs don't have any number, the LGN I just bought has a number etched in the reel foot and on the bag. Great little reels, cheers Howard.
