Thread: Alcedo Micron on the Job

Been giving my Alcedo Micron and matching rod a workout the last few nights. Managed to snag a few fat gills near the bank just after an afternoon thunderstorm rolled through. Some dinks were around too and a bass just to keep me on my toes.









The Continental Arms Corporation of NYC started importing the Micron in 1953. It was probably the first true ultralight spinning reel available to most USA fisherman. Continental also sold rods in sizes from 4.5 to at least 5.5 feet. I'm still trying to get more info on these. The reel was made in Italy.








Whoever had one of these setups in the mid-1950s was living large!
