I remember those puppies, but just bearly. I think they did make a matching wonder rod, John. If I remember correctly, they were kind of a piece of crap, and they didn't work very well. They would tangle up under the spool cover, maybe that is why it is missing. It's history though, a good find, rip.
I know that I was always guilty of putting too much line on mine when I was growing up. That always caused problems and line twist when the drag was set incorrectly.
Old reels are cool, the engineering behind them is fascinating, but the advancements are mind boggling in today’s reels.
