HARDY CASCAPEDIA BRUNSWICK 1/0 and 4/0

Gonna break my own previous advice about only sharing Ebay listings that have ended, since I don't think there will be any serious inter-AT bidding war, or anything to drive the price up for interested parties on this one.

 That's a lot of coin for 2 modern made reels......this just reinforces my admiration for penn reels. Thanks for posting John.

I made an offer of $50 shipped to California but I have not heard back from the seller.  Don't you think that is rude?  Dominick

Nar - Charlie boy already has his own I've never heard of fly reels being called 1/0 & 4/0 Does this man really know his stuff

[Penn Chronology]

Just plain nuts. I would not pay a penny over 6 large for them.

Just found out (from a collector friend) that the 1/0 was considered a trout reel (weighs 9 1/2 oz  ) the 4/0 is a salmon reel. Hardys Bros reissued 500 of the Brunswick Cacapedias in 1991.
An original one from the 1930's was sold at auction in 2008 for £15,000 (pounds not dollars ).
