Pezon et Michel Luxor Sport

Post by Mole-Patrol »

Bottom end of the Luxor range is the Sport. It shares the same body and internals as the other models and is little changed from the original pre-war P&M reels. The bottom end reels were usually finished in black. The luxury models were bronze or metallic beige.

The Sport also has a full bail, albeit a simple bent wire with no pick up roller or internal bail return mechanism. To return the bail you either do it manually or turn the handle so that the wire bail arm collides with an anvil cast into the stem of the reel foot. The sound of metal clashing will be familiar to those Black Prince owners.

The spool however is made from metal, not plastic. The clutch spring is decidedly naff. Overall it makes a good donor reel for those owning better models with a fault in the internals :Hahaha:
