Use case · 17 references
General freshwater casting and spinning reels for bass, pike, walleye and trout: Ambassadeur 5000-size and 6000-size baitcasters, the Daiwa Millionaire, Pflueger and Shakespeare casting reels, and Mitchell 300-family spinning reels. This is the largest group in the catalogue and the easiest place to find a good vintage reel to fish, because supply is high and most faults are cheap to fix. Collectors concentrate on early, original and boxed examples; for fishing, a clean, tested later reel is usually the best value.
