Intrepid Continental line guide?

[Cat]

Thanks...that's interesting as I have the green version (as above, but not mint), and the black version with salmon motif).

Fred J Taylor used Intrepid reels including the Continental and the Supreme, both of which feature in photos illustrating his books Angling in Earnest and Favourite Swims.

Excellent pictures and dates there, AC. I had not realised they had resurrected the Continental in 1969, albeit in a slightly diminished, less continental update. Great stuff

The wire wool, Brasso and elbow grease seems to have worked...although there is still a very slight groove, line seems to pull through smoothly without catching.
Thanks Cat

I think I still have a Continental and a Supreme somewhere in the depths of my tackle.
