A buddy just gave me this Martin 64 few hours ago. Not a fly guy, but interested in learning about how these function and plan on fishing it soon. Have not looked into it at all as this is my first stop. Plan on seeing what You Tube can show me. Appreciate any input in pointing me in the right direction. Thanks

Some of those old Martins are decent reels.  There's some info on the Martin 64 at the links below:

Carefully with the small bits .
Even some of the screws on old fly reels are nearly unobtainium.

There is nothing like lying flat on your back on the deck, alone except for the helmsman aft at the wheel, silence except for the lapping of the sea against the side of the ship. At that time you can be equal to Ulysses and brother to him.

I have one somewhere... 64 sounds familiar, but there's always more models than I know about. I think mine is the best fly reel I have for the cost, and made in the USA to boot!
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!
