Some old reels

[samsteele115]

Hi everyone, 

I've got some old reels that are actually in quite good condition for their age. Are these of any value? Not sure if there are some collectors items in there, or if they are no good to anyone.

Thanks,

Sam

Good luck ID-ing the reels Sam. Do you think they could be old Abu Garcia or Okuma ones?

Was just browsing through Gumtree and came upon this. I think it is the same as the bottom right.

Diawa 406RA. Judging by the fact it is for $9 it may be pretty common?

Thanks Hamish. 

Quick google. The one that seems to hold any sort of monetary value (although not rare) appears to be on the bottom left. Its a Dam Quick 220 built in West Germany. I think over 50 years old. Pretty amazing build quality! 

The bottom right is a very old daiwa which is pretty cool too.

By the way, I'm happy to give these away to get rid of them

Hi Sam

 I would be interested in any one of the left side reels/bottom right reel. I think they would be fun for tillies/eels and maybe a bullshark next Summer. Whatever reel you dislike the most I am happy to have. They sure look cool.

Have their been any fish biting at Straddy lately?

Cheers Hamish

You can have all of them mate, they all are quite smooth pm me

Since last time we spoke I've definitely been fishing but the last 10 or so sessions have been very quiet! On holidays after tomorrow so hopefully my poor form changes

Nice. We are living off whiting and crabs at the moment.  Based in Amity. I have a 5m tiller over there. If you want to chase some longies around let me know.
