I have just purchased a vintage bakalite centre pin reel which I intend to go fishing with, and I would love to hear from anyone who fishes with similar vintage tackle to ask them how their vintage tackle peforms in a real fishing situation.
Many of us here have used a vintage reel and some use them for reasons besides performance. Vintage reels are solid reels but the fact is that parts are hard to come by. Add to the fact the low gear ratio compared to the ones now, vintage reels just end up on a shelf collecting dust. ![]()
There’s nothing wrong with using a vintage reel for everyday fishing, these reels are what made the reels we use today. If you can find the parts for these vintage reels, by all means fish on. If not, it’s best to keep it in working order. ~good luck catchin’.

I just bought a Zebco fishing rod, but the line was tangled inside, so I took the line out, untangled it, and now I don’t know how it gets wound around the guides before it gets threaded through the hole in the notched metal cap before going outside to the pole. Can you help?? I hae never done this before, if you can find one a diagram or video would work great. Thanks!
This link is for Baitcasting and Spinning reels and has the basic info., you’ll need however with you havin’ a Spincast, just scroll down to paragraph 9 and it will explain procedure on your type reel. Much easier than my typin/explainin’

Note: Instead of usin’ a pencil on the line spool I’ll lay it on the floor with the brand label facin’ up ~ course I haven’t re-spooled a close face/spincast in a lonnnnng time so maybe the pencil method be better. Whatever way ya’ go with I’m sure you’ll get it. Might suggest ya’ purchase some new line~ Cap/cover on reel will have what pound test your specific model reel accepts and how many yards of it (hope ta’ H _ _ l I haven’t thorughly confused ya’?) … Update: Haaaa’ but, seriously I think that Blazer 1 has the best idea especially seein’ that ya’ just purchased it! Besides you can ask some un-answered questions you may have regardin’ it …
