Title: Pfleuger Capitol No. - 1988
Post by: CohoClyde40 on April 30, 2026, 06:01:07 PM
Hi All!  Anyone know anything about this one?  Looks ugly but fully functional except clicker button frozen.  Left side plate says Patented
              Pats Pend.
I don't think it's been opened unless a professional cuz there's not a mark on a screw head that I can see.  Sorry, can't see how to attach pics here!  If you can help I can email photos or PM them on FB

I had one years ago. I remember liking how it was mostly metal and well made. The frame seemed a bit flimsy looking. I never used it so I don't know how it performs ... one of those "they don't make 'em like this anymore" reels.

Thanks Gfish!  I'm hoping I can find a schematic before I dig in.
