Still reels

This pole is brown. It’s 10 ft. Seems like it would be pretty sensitive. I’m still gonna try to get it where I can use it some.

They are good durable poles. I have had and been using mine some 40 plus years. I had two & give one to my son. He loves catching grinnel with his or red fish which is a hoot on a pole like that. The objective catching bigger fish with them is don’t let them get the line straight out the end of pole or game over. Like I stated in early post there just heavy. I have caught a truck load of bull bream and crappie on mine.

Explain to me how the reel works??Do you have to reverse reel it to let line off??Then put the handle in that spot on the end of the reel to lock it?

The idea was when they first came out , if your line broke then it wasn’t that you had to totally line your pole again. Of course like someone stated if it breaks down inside the rod it’s quite an ordeal.
So knowing that you simply fill the reel with line. On the one I continue to use I only put 24 to 36 feet of line on the reel. So once the reel is loaded you simply pull out the amount of line you want and lock the reel handle back in. Just FYI I always fish with 12 feet of line out or less. I have tried using it deeper but the reel just isn’t smooth enough to reel a 2+ pound fish up. The reel wasn’t designed to operate like a reel you would cast with. It’s all plastic.
I hope this answers your question. If needed I can video the operation and upload or if you send number I can texted video to you.

Well fellow made you a couple of videos sent to number but I think it kicked it back for some reason. But if you get it let me know.
