In my humble , ill informed and ultimately meaningless opinion there is a reason no one has produced such a patterned reel in over 100 years.
Simply Ghastly.

The fact that some people think it would look ghastly should be reason enough to do it.

BW; You might enquire of Abel if they could do a one-off Agate finish for you to match the stripper.
Ken A Curmudgeon is just an Old Fart with outlet malfunction. You'd be grumpy, too. |

Wow Rob, Maybe I should paint one of the Pentalux seats for old times sake. Just think, if we had been fishing that summer long ago, we may never have come
back. Great memories. Peter

If you see one of these poor sad old speckled reels jammed into the back of a crowded, dusty antique store display case, well, pick it up and send it to me.
I'll give you twenty bucks for your trouble.
And that will surely be a day I'll fish the ripple on still water, when there is no pebble toss'd, nor wind to blow.
Quashnet's Paul H. Young Rod Database has photos and descriptions of over
320 PHY Co. rods, plus catalogs, accessories, etc. Thank you to all
who continue to send me PHY rod photos and info.

Phil was the bassist. Which reminds me - didn't I see that tarpon graphic on the front cover of Aoxomoxoa?
Sadly, no one has yet sent me one of them speckly reels. Gary must of siphoned 'em all up with his twenty-five dollar offer. |
