Title: 1955 Heddon Spin Pal 260
Post by: Woodbilly on January 25, 2024, 05:39:19 PM
Aquired this Heddon Spin Pal with automatic bail awhile back.
I haven't seen one in black with a/r switch before. Only maroon or black with manual pick up.
This one has og box and manual.The box had signature of "Chester Gordon" on top. Any one know of him?
I did complete teardown of reel and it has become one of my favorite for crappie catching! It was missing the tag on side plate, so I added a buffalo nickel. Purists cry, but I did leave all her battle scars present. Lol

Greetings, W, from Minnesota.  Nice old Heddon; don't always see a lot of them.  Have fun with it!
