Thank you Stingray. Great information, I can see how easy it is to get a bird's nest.Stingray wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 1:02 pm I have on and I agree that they are lovely little reels - great embossed patterning to grace any display cabinet. I would be very careful casting with it is there is no spool tensioner for anti-backlash. I think Olympic made these mainly for the USA market were they would likely have been used for freshwater trolling or bottom fishing from small boats, possibly as a "boys" reel.
