    Default Still reels


    Anyone ever heard of still reels of Toledo Ohio?I was at my brother in laws today and we were in his garage. His father in law had given him a bunch of old rod and reels. There were a couple of those. They were on telescopic hollow rods. They don’t have eyelets,the line goes through the hollow rod. He gave me one on a 10 ft pole. Just wondered if they are any good and worth cleaning up and trying.

    I remember seeing them in catalogs from the 70s and 80s but never handled one.

    I hadn't seen that exact one, but I have seen them the the line going thru the rod. I hadn't fished with one, but my first thought was I bet its a little aggravating to get the line back thru if it was to break off up inside the rod..... Maybe its not though. I would definitely give it try for jigging anyways, especially if its free. You might find a new favorite rod.

    I’ve seen those before and IIRC the reel isn’t for reeling in fish, it’s just for letting more line out. They’re like a cane pole, or bream buster with a reserve of line on them.
