That really looks nice! What handle is that?

I have two old 109s a friend gave me that I just tore down, cleaned and polished; one with a plastic spool, the other with a metal spool. Did some parts swapping and got the one with the shiniest parts put back together last night.  I was quite surprised at how smooth and fast it turned out, but I'm not sure yet what I'll use it for.  You've got me a more fired up over it now!

They are great little reels. I use mine for sheephead fishing. Found the new knob on ebay for 8 dollars.
