Run2jeepn Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 I got these in a lot of Gear this week. I haven't gotten them in my Hands yet, but will in the next day or so. Not sure what brand they are. If their worth keeping, using or just sell them. Quote

Not the greatest pictures, but Ocean City 9 series or FF maybe? There were several companies making similar reels before Penn® put most out of business. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted October 24, 2019 Super User Posted October 24, 2019 Id keep them and not use them ..not worth much but still great reels back in the day ....parts are hard to find if they happen to be used and break which is vary rare they are tanks .... Quote
Super User WRB Posted October 24, 2019 Super User Posted October 24, 2019 The white handles look like Ocean City /True Temper peer reel #88, the name and model should be on the side plate. Tom Quote
Run2jeepn Posted October 24, 2019 Author Posted October 24, 2019 True Temper 945F and a 944. They spin nice and smooth too. One is missing a line guide. Quote
Super User jimmyjoe Posted October 25, 2019 Super User Posted October 25, 2019 My Dad had True Temper rods and reels when I was a little kid. That picture sure brings back a lot of memories! All you need now are a Lucky 13 and black Hula Popper laying between them. ? jj Quote
Run2jeepn Posted October 25, 2019 Author Posted October 25, 2019 Here is all I got for my $10 dollar investment.... Most these are Heddon or Rebel lures. Lot of them are in good shape too. Going to restore a few of them Thought this one was interesting. Seems to have a whistle built into it... havne't been able to find any info on it Also got a old Plano Phantom and a old Rebel 600 tackle box. Loads of new hooks of all sorts, some inline spinners and random weights. Quote
Super User jimmyjoe Posted October 25, 2019 Super User Posted October 25, 2019 Oh heck yeah! Upper left quadrant; a Baby Lucky 13 and a Hula Popper! You made my day! ? jj Quote

I think this plug makes bubbles while you reel it in, not a whistle....tie it on and sling it in a swimming pool and find out. seems like an awfully good idea though, even if thats not what it does lol Quote
Quin Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 I'd check out the value of the lures before attempting restoring. Some may be worth more than you expect. Collectors can be pretty fussy about "original" condition, etc. ..or they may turn out to be just interesting old lures, that with a little work, could go on to 2nd life of fishing! Quote
Super User GreenPig Posted October 27, 2019 Super User Posted October 27, 2019 I'd clean/lube and throw some ceramics in them reels and fish. Line guides are overated and kill your casting distance.? Quote
