Thanks for the info. You are right, most of the reels today are simply throw-a-ways. The wife said that hers was her favorite reel so I guess I will trying tieing it on with some fresh line.

My wife has several old castig reels that she bought in yard sales and said she would sell them online if she could only get a good photo of them. It's funny what treasures one can find in other folks' "junk" sales.
