Steve Ellis, collector of all-things fly fishing, talks about his favorite vintage reels including Hardy reels and the Pflueger Medalist.

   THis video has a technical glitch and it stops playing before the full story has been told. Many pop-up ads throughout.

   Mr. Steve Ellis,

   I have a spinning real made by Packard. NO3517B2

   It has very intricate detail on both sides, 2 1/4 in sides are either silver or stainless, appears to be ivory handles
   cork for the line holder. It’s in good working order and in fairly good condition. I can send you pictures. I’ve had it for a little over 40 years, but not sure it’s travels before I got it. Interested in finding out what it’s worth but not really interested in selling it. I would appreciate any information you can give me regarding the reel.

   Thank you for your time,

   Jim Freeman
