Wow have no desire to assault anyone except maybe an attack on the "worm chomping jolly greens" but won't use an Auto- I'll stick to the manual style?yee-haw!!

Well I'm not a fly guy but I just was intrigued by this, It works very well from what I have found so far, spring seems strong still and zips line up pretty quick. Also has a small chrome lever that does the line pick up. Found this at a flea market for 8$ so grabbed it for grins so now I gotta decide what to do with it?? It seems to be real close to that system lol.

I ran across what appears to be a spring loaded handle-less fly fishing reel that has a south bend brand name on it. The other model? name on it is oren-o-matic balanced reel no. 1140 model B . It also says made in USA for a change,haha. This is one I haven't seen before. Is this a common style reel for fly fishing? Thanks for reading and I'm trying to get pics. Sorry technalogicly? challenged.

Thank you again It seems like there are some friendly and helpful people on this site. I hope that all is doing well and keeping warm as I myself am in a short hibernation mode. Cant wait for warmer weather . Good luck to those brave souls who can be out there now but I need a few more degrees to get me out?

Thanks for tips on T.Rock. have been there several times over the course of time but only out on boat few times. Is it as bad as Truman looks? Will keep eyes open when get on it this spring. Thanks again

Thank you. I have fished since I was 5-6 and living in Va. 2 blocks from Potomac river. Just recreationally but last couple years have been bass fishing primarily. Finally got boat in fall of 2016 and can't get on water enough only problem being am a little cold-natured?
