Bait Caster excerpts from a 135 page catalog. There are also numerous pages of rods, fly reels and lures, spoons and more. If anyone wants me to post scans of some of that, let me know.

thanks - I have two South Bend cane fly rods with those Comficient grips, they still work well..

Wonder how many of the SB reels are still around. They are tough to cast with no free-spool.
SB also made a tournament casting reel which does have a free-spool, no drag though, plain old direct-drive.
It will cast 1/8oz easily. I haven't had the courage to fish it yet ;-)
