There's something you don't.......

....see everyday.

I was browsing "vintage fly reels" on Ebay, and clicked open a Winchester reel. Winchester collectors go crazy for old stuff like this.

Disturbing. :oo:

Never knew, but it makes sense......right?

That guy's smoking dope. I've seen a number of these for sale--even owned one several years back--and it never went remotely close to that amount. And shipping of $40? ya gotta be kidding me. :roll:

The best part is not the reel it is the shirtless man holding the reel. That is what you are paying for!

Must look closely at the pictures to see the condition of the reel.

I pretty sure that fat fart never even used that reel. He might of snagged it while bait fishing. We all should send him a question telling him he is dreaming.
