I received this reel from JasonGotaProblem . I never paid attention to the shinny O C reels "Freshwater reels ". Well this reel is mostly all aluminum , made for saltwater . Made around 1941 ish . 300 yards line capacity .
Two screw take apart with a different bridge assembly than I am use to . Very simple and well made , The 4 posts and the cut out for the dog spring and dog make this very easy to assemble . Wear washer under the pinion gear and the simple high hat keyed drag assemble . Extremely light reel "No line " about 10 1/2 oz . I have to try it out ! :fish
Thanks, Joe! I love my Penns, but digging into the OC reels is more interesting to me. You can't always predict what's inside and, after a while, you can see how OC designs evolved.
