When I was out fishing on Lk St Clair in MI, my dad and I used old
deep trolling reels that attached to the side of the boat with brackets and used a steel line that you attached the jig to and a large sinker. The technique was to slow troll and feed the line off of the reel by hand and bounce the sinker off of the bottom and work the line in and out until you felt a strike. The reels were large at about 10" diameter. Some old-timers had some actually made with
old crank phonograph winders in wooden boxes. They used to be available as manufactured items thru tackle companies (A&S Stamping
was one). A lot of fishermen nowdays don't recognize the techniques.
I am looking to sell the old reels to someone who knows the style.
Does anyone know about fishing with these reels and have any idea as
to the value?
Thanx
