Spotted this on EB, is it some sort of reel mutant??? ;D
And what's a "Drofessional"?
??? Link ? Never seen one . looks rim driven.
Looks like something discussed elsewhere on this site, but basically a conventional reel, slung under the rod like a spinning reel, but with a conventional reel. Used as ajigging reel. Bill
Always interesting to see innovative new designs, that's what caught my eye. But a level wind on such a narrow reel seems kinda wacky. ::)
Wierd...could it possibly be some kind of fly reel??? It does mention rafts on the side of the spool. Never seen anything like that.

Of course now I have to Google it!!😁

someone who was questioned about making a geared
fly reel moocher w/ belt-driven levelwind
& replied, "I'M NOT
DRUNK -- I'M A
PROFESSIONAL!!!" ...but it all slurred together
...was prob. swaying, like he was on a raft, too ;D ;D ;D
Very curious ??? High speed gear system 2.6:1 is not high speed. .3/100 - is that .3 PE 100yds or .3mm 100m - either way that ain't going to cut it for a fly reel or jigging reel. Seems to be very small so my guess would be an underhand baitcaster :-\
Bill's right. It looks like a Japanese raft/boat reel, a unique style of fishing in Japan.
Since it has a line guide, maybe a mooching type of reel?
