@@tonys.5940 mine was alittle more beat than yours but I was surprised how nice it casts. Budweiser one would be sweet to have. I got this and a 1940s Bristol telescope fly rod both functional Our river just got drained due to floods but I'm going to keep using it until I catch 1 then hang her on the wall lol
I'm not entirely sure, but I think the springs are more durable. Sometimes the tension washers flatten-out over time and need to be bent back to restore tension.
I just used the one I got!
She casts ,she reels.
Pole itself was broken but a simple fix & clean.
I was proud to cast it a few times.
Nice! They actually work pretty good, surprisingly. I ended up getting the Budweiser version to add to the collection.

I wonder if that Patent is still pending.
Does the spring work any better than a tension washer?

That's awesome. Too bad they didn't make it out of metal,though.
