Is that the Cardinal C3 spinning reel? My dad and I went through a whole bunch of those. Awesome drags but their anti-reverse mechanism broke all the time and John Martinas must have loved us for that. I'd still own one however.



Danny, yeah we used the older Zebco Cardinals in size 3 & then size 4 when hunting bigger critters, they have green body W/ a white spool. Had a newer verizon w/ the same profile made in the 80's. This one was all black & made out of mostly graphite. Loved the drag on those, that knob is in just the right spot.


Heres a clean 3



And its bigger bro, 4
