Thank you!
I'm taking it out, next trip, to give her a replay of a past life!

           When you say small reel , you were not kidding ..

Haha! Glad I could take you along for the journey!
 Yep. She's a vintage ultralight,for sure.

Quote from: Midway Tommy on April 16, 2025, 05:08:21 PMBoy, considering the way I hold a spinning rod/reel combo that trip mechanism/action looks like it could be a real finger smacker/cutter.    I'd have to reteach myself how to hold the outfit. 

Really a cool reel, though! Well done!

Yes, I could see that, depending on how one holds the rod/ reel foot.
 I have yet to mount it or use it, but it will be happening.
 I'll definitely report back on this beauty.

Beautiful work!!!

Thank you, sir! The reel is a thing of beauty with the brass body.
 Can't wait till it gets some fresh patina.
