Anyone used or heard of Norman Standeven float reels?
« on: March 09, 2023, 05:32:39 PM »
Anyone used or heard of Norman Standeven float reels? I saw one online. Apparently Norm was from Chilliwack and passed away a little while back. He made the reels himself. Nice life.

Your welcome.
2 are bushing and 2 are bearing. Never fished them, history pieces just resting on a shelf, would probably sell them at some point if there was interest.
