Browning 510 Graphite Reel

Browning 510 Graphite Reel


This is a lightweight open-face spinreel that I picked up already mounted on the glo-tip Rhino rod. It didn't even need any repair.  I probably paid $3 or $4 for the pair, unlikely that I would have gone five at a junk store.  I brought it out of the garage to go to Perch Lake, above and below the dam, with a friend, Anna.  No problems at all with casting or operation, maybe could use a little lubricating. The line was on it and is reasonably tough, and remembers the shape of the bale so once in a while gets caught on the handle or anything else nearby. Not too bad, though, it is serviceable for the junky little fishing expeditions I am accustomed to.
