  1. I bought that same Shakespeare Wondercast earlier this year. It was grease locked just like that one. I got it up and running like new after cleaning the dried grease out of it. That problem seems to be very common in the old reels I have acquired over the past couple years. When I see grease locked vintage reels for sale the sellers usually has a very low price on them because they think the reels are broken. They're glad to sell them as parts reels just to get rid of them.

  2. Most of the time I watch Rick Stiver’s channel to see Spincast reels. It’s unusual to see you doing one. Rick gave me an under-spin Spincast reel that has a lever for casting. It fits under the rod just like the spinning reels I’m used to. I find these reels very interesting as they were the first type reel I used as a child. — Chris
