Enjoyed your video series on the Johnson reels. I drive by the old Johnson Reel factory in Mankato on a regular basis. Each time I drive by it I smile and recall the days when that place was bustling.
The old johnson citation and century were amazing reels The sabra was great too When they went to plastic and graphite the reels really went down the toilet in my opinion An exception to this is the guide series which I hear are excellent reels Interesting is that Mitchell had a reel identical to this one which was called spider cast It even has the Pulse action feature
Thanks for the info on the Spider Cast reel. I didn’t know that. Have you ever fished with one of these pulsing reels. I’m going to have to try this one out. I keep hearing about what a great reel the Guide is, I’m going to have to try one.
@@youngmartinsreels5314 I haven't tried one but maybe I'll get one someday I have a guide 155 on the way It's the smallest one The guide 160 looks really nice too Basically an updated Sabra 130 It's a Larger reel

Wow, I don’t suppose they have a museum do they?
That bait twitcher looks more like marketing to fishermen than actually catching fish. Very interesting videos. I understand this one Rick. - Chris
It might have been advertising hype but I still want to go try it out.
I have done a few of those reels and I never could figure what that slot on the cover was for thanks for the info
