Saw this on eBay. I can't imagine what advantage this spool design would have. Am I missing something? ??? ::)
Maybe install different color & weight line in each slot so you don't have to respool for different situations. ::) ::) ;D ;D
It is an Asian made boat reel.
Supposed advantages with the triple-partitioned spool could include:
Instant knowledge of how deep your bait is, less line snares, ability to keep the line on the spool from building up in one area with no levelwind mechanism — or for someone who doesn't want to constantly feather the line to keep the retrieve-loading fairly level...
When one section is filled — the line just needs to be continued to the next section...
Cannot cast this reel — just for drops.
If I could buy all of the Angling gimmicks I have seen over the years for what they are really worth — then sell them to fisherman for what they think they are worth — I might be a billionaire.

Seems to me it would just make a big mess! ::)

Come on Fred your close to it admit it, if you were using one continuous line would the devides not cut it, cheers Don.
I don't think that the separation ridges would cut a line, DB — too smooth and rounded — but maybe it is just to spool 3 different line test sizes — hopefully someone on here knows?
Maybe some real clever reel that I have never heard of.
Above my pay grade...
But, for $63 + shipping — someone on here could have a unique reel. It does look like a well made reel. Hard to tell without having it on the bench — particularly as to the quality of metals, innards, and other materials.
And I am sure that parts will be available for years to come...
Best,
Fred
I just noticed it has 3 slots to feed the line(s) through. I guess it's designed for using 3 sets of lines on one reel.
Uh, No.
You just mount that on a triple-tip-crow's foot rod so you can fish three lines at once. Triple your chances at the jack-pot!
Fish your 20-30 and 40 pound rigs all at once!

That's what I was thinking, I see three slots on the frame ;D
Can't knock them for trying something different. Bad things teach us just as much as good things.

Imagine if you got careless for a second... bird's nest X3 yikes!!!!!
