This handle recently previewed on Facebook. Has anyone every seen one of these?
Interesting! The only reason I can see is to have a long handle that extends with normal use and then folds away when not in use so as not to bump into stuff on the boat. Would be interested to know more though!
Cheers,
Andrew
I'm guessing there's some kind of release that allows that handle to move down and make it longer
Ouch !! Accidentally hit the anti reverse lever so dog won't engage and say goodbye to your reeling hand !! Yep, it looks like a "fold away" knob. The reel also has a broken trim ring
Max,
There's a post bolt right under the drag engagement lever in the photo, I tie off the lever to that post with a small piece of line so that if I have a greenhorn aboard they can't get the 49 into knuckle buster mode.
Where there any shots with the printing legible on the handle?
A shiny object with history... sure to catch a few around here ::)
