    It's cleaner than some of mine.

    I think you increase the drag by stepping on it.

    looks like there was a QC issue the way some of the U shaped pieces are bent, or the reel was used for rolling up fence wire, or sumpin anyway. Interesting pic tho.

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    If any of you have ever bought cut to legnth wire at lowes, you will see a reel very similar to this... Guess it was pretty good technology.

    Does it mount on bottom of the rod like a spinning reel or on top like a baitcaster or does it really matter? Thanks for posting it, very interesting.

    a few years back when I fished below the dam at wilbur mills a fellow there had some new ones like it that somebody in central arkansas was making. The first guide on the rod was the tip of another rod whipped to the rod shaft near the front of the grip to keep the line centered. he could cast a little george a fair distance
