Thanks for the info. I just found the 3rd reel, it's a 200 in perfect condition but no box or tools/parts.

They are neat old reels but I have no use for them. Are people collecting just to show or still actually using them? I'd have a hard time giving up my DHSV's or Zillions to fish one of these things.

This isn't an attempt at a front page bidding war as I am/genuinely curious what the draw is.


Salmo, it is a bit odd that I'm comfortable fishing RIGHT with the big stuff like saltwater salmon gear but out of sorts with the smaller gear and especially fly. Not sure if I'm a centrist or just another Leftard. Guess it all depends who's doing the judging...
