Nice Rainbow, McBeevee! Looks like about 14 inches. Tell me about the rod and reel. Details man, I need details!!! I'm a fellow flyfisherman!!!
It's an oldie I'm 53 I 've been using it since I was 8. The reel is a Oren -O- Matic No.1130 Model D by Southbend.I don't know when it was made,my father had it or got it for me. It is spring loaded(self winding when you pull line out or just do it manually) no handle 'just a lever to bring in line.No reeling at all.
The rod is a Fennwick FF 857. I bought it in 73 I think.The Bow was a nice little fight I usually use 2 lb. test and he was in some fast water.

There are some reels on e-bay 9.00 bid one was 49.99 E-bay n me ????
