since some of you guys were invested/interested in my last post about this reel, i thought i’d share what the internals also look like (months after cleaning) for it being found in the bottom of a very silty river bed……there way cleaner then the outside as expected, but i’d of thought since there was rusting on the outside, and corrosion on some parts before cleaning, that there would be some sort of damage/corrosion to the gears…..to my surprise there isn’t…..and everything in this reel is mechanically working….the only thing that seemed to degrade a lot, is the paint, some heads to pins (rusted), some rusted parts on the reel body itself, and a plastic drag washer that completely disintegrated upon removing it when i cleaned the reel.
hope you guys like this post aswell. tight lines anglers!

First time seeing the internals. Such a simple yet elegant looking mechanism.
