Bob,--Drop me an email. I just got a box full of "heavy metal". A nice birdcage automatic (sears branded, Martin) as well as some other Automatics that I don't have time or desire to rebuild. The interesting reel of the batch was a Wright and McGill Fre-Line closed face spinning reel from the 50's that mounts like a fly reel, since in that era people did both with the same rod.Carl--Carl ZmolaOn Fri, Jul 8, 2016 at 10:10 PM, 'Bob Smith' via Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders <tidal-potomac-fly-rodders@googlegroups.com > wrote:--I'm on eBay everyday, if it's going for $10 unless it slipped under the radar, which happens, it ain't worth buying.I'll gladly check your box of autos. I don't know why, but ilove the things and gave the collecting bug for them. Aaaggghh
Sent from my iPadTo view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msYes, but an Oren-o-matic without a box is $10 reel last time I checked. It's probably worth more as a boat anchor :-)Bob, You're welcome to pick through my box of automatic's and grab the one's you want, but none are in mint condition.--Carl--Carl ZmolaOn Fri, Jul 8, 2016 at 9:53 PM, 'Bob Smith' via Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders <tidal-potomac-fly-rodders@googlegroups.com > wrote:--$10 automatics once upon a time. Good working models can be found for that if you hit a lucky EBay listing but the average price is $25-$45 these days. You find one in a clean box with instructions and not too scuffed up can go for $60 or better. You have a mint one of the right model or one that someone needs to fill a hole in a collection you're going well over $100-$200. (I know from painful experience)Makes me wish I'd saved everything I ever owned as a kid through my twenties...$$

They are good for warm water fishing where the drag isn't as important as they do bind. I usually pair them with an old, beater fiberglass rod.The second one looks like a Pflueger clone. Probably made by Olympia/Seiko. If you can stretch the line (Play some tug of war with it) and get rid of the corkscrew, you can use it for panfishing, but otherwise, just strip it off and toss it. Clean with soap and water, dry thoroughly and give it a little bit of oil and it will fish forever.I have quite a few of these Pflueger clones and some of them fish really well for what they are.Carl--Carl--Carl ZmolaOn Thu, Jul 7, 2016 at 9:55 PM, 'Bob Smith' via Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders <tidal-potomac-fly-rodders@googlegroups.com > wrote:Bring the Pemco to the next Beer Tie and I can take a look at it for you. I collect these things and can even take them apart without blowing up the winding spring/ratchet mechanism.
The Pemco is the economy line of the Perrine automatic fly reels. Mostly a matter of cosmetics. If you ever use it you have to take some precautions. It's really easy to hit the trigger and retrieve the line so quickly it jams or catches on a tip top or guide and KAPOW BLAM KABOOM goes a rod tip or section. Aside from that they're fun to use.
