Last pic for tonight - for those who haven't seen Tuna-poling hooks, this is what they look like- no bait used,just tied straight to pole line. Sometimes if Tuna extra large, 2 lines and poles to 1 hook
Old "Capstan Whirlaway 77"- these were highly desired when first on the market. Capstan made quite a few reels, but were later better known for plastic hand-lines!
The house I'm sharing is with another collector/fisho- he has mainly much older stuff than mine- there are about 200 reels on the walls, plus heaps more stuff- we have been calling it a "museum" for years! Won't bore everyone with too many reel pictures (will take a couple of "wall shots" tomorrow instead)- just a couple more 'significant' reels to follow this tonight
