Title: Holliday Model 30 and 40 Operating Manual
Post by: sandbar on August 11, 2023, 06:48:32 PM
I wasn't really sure where to post this.
I'm suspect someone can move it if belongs elsewhere.

I've looked at buying one of these several times but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Pretty little reels.

Here it is in a single 4 page pdf.
I hope someone out there has one of these reels that they can post a picture of.
Thank You

They're pretty well sought after, too, especially as a collector item! They were made in Italy in the mid '60s by Zangi and are high quality. They usually bring in the $150-200 range if they have their box.

Thanks Tommy.
I didn't realize they were made by Zangi.
I found this information on the inventor.

Yes, this is super interesting. I've known about the reels for ages, but this is next-level great.
The authors of the Reel News article are highly esteemed. It will be very interesting to read this in depth.
Thanks!

I suppose these reels are different from the Holiday (one "L") reels that were offered by the store of the same name.

Yes they were, completely different.
