I have never seen any reels like this before.
I had received a email and checked it out.
These reels are beautifully crafted and seem very durable. Any one ever try one of these?
The price is very resonable. http://www.peetztackle.com/fishing_reels.htm

I have used them and still own a couple. Made On Vancouver Is. since 1924, they are wood/brass "knuckle-buster" type reels like the excellent Nottingham winch or (later) Hardy Silex types. Peetz also makes a metal version, the 2000.
There was a book printed about them in 1997, "Peetz, A Reel for All Time," by Douglas Pollard. Hope this helps.

Thank you cityfish.
For that price $59.95 (Canadian) it is a lot cheaper them the other centerpin style I have been looking at.
I think I will get a couple.
What size do you have ?
I am looking at the 4".

Aerofly, I know where you can find answers without wasting time on the internet!
