Re: Side caster identification
There's something a bit Tokoz about that reel but it's a first for me and purely a guess. With such a deep arbour I suspect it was for sea fishing from a boat.....?

Re: Side caster identification
I had a very similar reel a few years ago and I think it was French. Possibly Pezon et Michel.

Re: Side caster identification
I wonder if it is an early South African or Australian beach or rock casting reel.

Re: Side caster identification
My first thought was Alvey.
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

I thought it may be this maker as well.Wallys-Cast wrote: ↑Wed Sep 05, 2018 11:19 am I had a very similar reel a few years ago and I think it was French. Possibly Pezon et Michel.
