Came across this Lil sweet heart of a antique fly reel at a garage sale on SAT!

Anyways as i walked into the garage sale like i always do confident and with a sly diamond smile
IM READY TO BUY ON IMPULSE!! ..

i went to work quickly going through all the junk on the tables..
.
Thats when i came across this odd old fly reel

And it still works..I THINK!!!

Ok now one thing how does it work???

So please if ANy older master fly Cats here used these before
please let me know how!!!
i want to try this REEL out!!

I know you wind up the face of the reel and then depress the sliver handle..And it spins counter clockwise retrieves the line automatically ...
but what i cant figgure out is the function of second arm

HELP!!!

I've got an old reel I bought with an old cane rod but it has only one lever. That lever retrieves the line.

I'd probably be interested in selling it. It's a South Bend no. 59 - 9' rod with two tips. The rod is in very good condition and includes the original rod bag and case. The case screw top is screwed.

PM me if you're interested.

mrspratley: Talked with the fisheries biologist and he said the tigers have disappeared and their stocking seems to be a failure. Also last year a friend was by there and said the boat launch was in bad shape. May 18, 2024 15:51:23 GMT -6

highlander: Bissett? Had a summer job there 40 years ago. At that time all the "strange" people in the Province seem to end up living there. Perhaps it's changed. Mar 4, 2023 14:27:24 GMT -6

bctroutteaser: Looks like we will be making a trip out in the middle of March to look at a few homes. Swan River is number one on the list but also have a place in Inglis to check out and another we like in Bissett. So we shall see how it goes. Feb 16, 2023 21:29:09 GMT -6
