[quote flygoddess]NICE! 18" ers....? I guess there very well could be. I love that auto reel in the first picture.[/quote]
Mock if you must, but that reel was money in the bank. Heavy, bulky, and not much to look at -- but worth its weight in gold when trying to pick up 50 feet of slack on a 'Berry Cut or 20lb Carp that's charging you.
Sadly, it fell off my tying bench a few weeks ago and burst the spring. I gave it over an hour of CPR, but it did not recover.
