Title: A question regarding a 5H Millionaire.
Post by: Stuck on July 20, 2012, 11:33:09 PM
Hi,
I've got an early 5H, a brown one with the coloured stipes on the LH sideplate. Anyways, inside the cast control cap on the LH side sits a bronze bush with one concave side. Does the concave side face the cap or the bearing ?.

Thanks,
Anthony.

I have one of these that I bought at a garage sale may years ago for $10.
It appears to be a good light weight lvl wind and I need to add it to my
overhaul / tear down list so I can fish it. -g

This one was on a matching Daiwa rod for $15. By today's standards the old rod's a fairly primitive bit of gear  ::) so I'm keen to get the outfit going so I can see how bad the old stick is.

Gotta love the old gear!!
The action on some of the classic rods.. Silaflex / Browning Silaflex, Harnell, and Sabre rods is why I seek them out
and bring old Penn's back to life for finesse type fishing ;)
Your right about the new gear if it's for big fish I'll be pulling on,  give me a Calstar or Seeker.
