If dating your friend's reels is a matter of interest to him, one of us with a copy of A J Campbell's book can help by knowing the letter prefix of the serial number. The serial number is the one stamped on the front edge of the footplate. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (slw) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/114345 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 11:47:35 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: The Zwarg ]]> http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/114259/t/The-Zwarg.html#reply-114259 Miniscule weight AND impressive impact!

as my friend actualy fishes all his reels, they are all completely dismantled on arrival. 50 year old grease put into the reel by otto zwarg himself may be of historical value, but if it keeps the reel from functioning as intended, it needs to go:

You're killing us with the suspense......please.....how did your friend come to own a Zwarg that had never been assembled ......or had it been originally purchased as a completed reel from the Zwarg shop and then someone took it apart and never got it back together?

I would imagine there would have been left over parts when the shop closed and it's very possible that whoever bought the contents could have pieced together the parts to sell... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (turtledoc) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/114141 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 08:41:40 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: The Zwarg ]]> http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/114125/t/The-Zwarg.html#reply-114125 reelmaker wrote:

friend of mine built his zwarg, a #3/0 model 400, from a "kit":

yes, he did manage to put it together again; in fact he did it several times (dismantle and put together again, that is) before it ran nicely. brake is working too (#3/0 is reel on the left):

I'm glad you all enjoy seeing it. I've had it for over 30 years, used it maybe 30 days in all that time, and this is only the second time I've opened it up. The screw heads have very finely tapered slots, so it's a bit tricky to mess with.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (slw) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/113916 Sun, 21 Dec 2008 18:04:24 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: The Zwarg ]]> http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/113906/t/The-Zwarg.html#reply-113906

Is the 2/0 a 3 3/8th diameter? Also, do you happen to have a postal scale to get a weight......I've never been one to really care how a reel balances a rod, but I would be curious to know what this one weighs in at.
