Title: Chuyo 1800 reel
Post by: SeaOx on August 19, 2017, 08:47:37 PM
Just joined the forum, first post. Does anyone have any information on Chuyo 1800 reels?   I came across one and it needs a few parts, any ideas on where to get parts? Also, is it worth fixing? Thanks

There's a little information here (http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=15878.0)

There is a "search" function in the blue bar above. I just plugged in "Chuyo 1800" without the quotes and this popped up. You might also consult the members at ORCA (Old Reel Collectors Association) (http://www.orcaonline.org), they might know more about this.

Curious to see one. Can you post a picture?

And, welcome SeaOx!

I will post some pics when I put it back together, but it looks identical to my Penn 114.
