Title: 349H, 349HC
Post by: Keta on September 25, 2012, 10:50:43 PM
What is the differance between the 349H and the 349HC? 

A friend just found 2 349HC reels with boxes for $29.00 each at the Klamath Falls Goodwill.....who would have thought a pair of 349s would show up there.

G'day Lee,
John's spot on - the only difference is the HC (which I have) has an anti-reverse lever which disengages the A/R dog, along with the usual clutch lever.
They both have 3.25:1 gears.
Hope that helps.
Cheers, Justin

Justin is right, that's it.

Lee, that's a heck of a deal.  Did your friend buy them?

As soon as I told him to he jumped right on them.  I'll get them tomorrow.
