Back in the day we backed all of our reels with cord. I still back up my braid with mono. That’s a nice vintage reel Scott found, thanks Dennis!
Hi Dennis,
Simple Engineering combined with Competent Maintenance = " A Sweet Reel"
I like the Langley reels a lot for that simplicity. Am amazed the nylon like gear has held up so well. Nice effort w lots of great info.
Many thanks again and and a shout out to all for a Happy New Year !
Cons
Thanks
Dennis, I never have liked the Langley spinners. I guess it is because the anti-reverse just did not work very well. This simple little reel doesn’t even have an AR mechanism. I have a Langley and often I had to get a spring out of a ball point pen to replace the weak one wastIt hat came in these Langleys. That got a little better after Zebco acquired Langley. I like the Ocean City spinning reels that are rough;y from the same time period. This Langley like others made during the war and afterward used plastics but that’s okay. This was a very nice video for New Year’s Eve! Thank you and have a very Happy New .
Happy New Year 💐 what a great reel. I like the handel knobs on old reels. Particularly the Dam Quick Junior with it's asymmetrical knob which is great for finesse fishing.
The Zebco 830, basically a Langley design, is a fantastic "medium light" vintage reel. I have several in my collection and fish with one
The anti reverse on those reels are known to fail but easy to fix. I've restored several in my collection
I have three or four of the old Langley reels in my collection. They seem to be made quite well.
Been dealing w cancer for 11 yrs. But people give me fishing gear….in az wtf ..but our set helps …thank you for the education.
I dig vintage fishing gear
Great reels 👍. Happy New year 🎊🎊
as sad as it sounds, technology and medical treatment both gain advances, just out of necessity
Nice historical reel.
Thank you, Scott, for finding the reel.
And, thank you, Dennis, for the video.
Have a safe and happy new year.

say it ain't so, they could catch fish back in the olden days with a reel that doesn't have a stack of carbontex drag washers, a dozen "bearings" or a power handle! amazing
