      Hey, these reels are pre-1960's. They were first introduced in 1949. This particular model was 1953 if I remember correctly, I can try to find the exact year!

    No brass brush for cleaning? That's one of my go to's for reel cleaning. Ever try simple green for a degreaser?

    use turpentine to clean...thicker than petrol...but less bite than alcohol..not damaging to paint but will remove weak glue..just endure the smell tho..thanks me later... (i service and restore reel)

    Now THAT's cleaning a reel! The smallest speck of foreign material must GO! When I dig into a real, I'm not fast, but I'm thorough, as you obviously are as well. Nice job!

    I’ve been on the hunt for a pole with an old reel like this. I noticed though that some reels have cork for the line to wrap around and others don’t. Is there a difference?

    • @reeldoc3132
      @reeldoc3132 7 месяцев назад

      If you're talking about cork wrapped around the spool, I personally haven't seen a reel like that. If you could, message me a picture I would be interested to see it! I imagine there is likely no major differences, probably used to keep the line from slipping off the spool when reeling with a lot of tension. A lot of rods (even some newer manufacturers) have reel seats the same as they were 60+ years ago. I think you might see that modern saltwater manufacturers are likely going to have something over modern freshwater manufacturers however.

      @@reeldoc3132 Okay, so if there is just bare steel where the line spools that’s normal? Most I’ve found in antique stores look that way.

    • @reeldoc3132
      @reeldoc3132 7 месяцев назад

      @@andrewschrotenboer9445 Yep, bare metal is fine - here are some different examples that show the spool without any cork. www.orcaonline.org/frhcr1/ I don't really own any old school fly reels but I assume they don't use cork typically either. In reality, even on my newer surf casting reels I use electrical tape on the spool instead of just wrapping it to the metal to prevent slipping. I imagine what you might have functions in a similar way

    So how did you get that handle off? I've got one on the way, I'll clean it up and catch some pike on it this summer.

    • @reeldoc3132
      @reeldoc3132 Год назад

      Good catch! It took a while and I don't think I had any good clips of it - I used a flathead screwdriver to leverage and pop it off. They're made snug, so it took a while considering it's age. You may be able to use pliers (gently!).

    Nice Ocean City reel! Use Meguiars Plastic X on the side plates it really works well shines up clean everytime. And thank goodness that you didn't take the chrome plating off like one guy did on RUclips destroying his vintage Ocean City reel forever.
