OCEAN CITY FLY FISHING REEL No 76

Nice looking reel, does anybody know anything about them? I'm thinking about picking one up for my 3-4wt rod since my Okuma Sierra reel broke.
Thanks

Martin,

I owned the 76 and it is a very good little reel for the money.
Click/pawl with dual line guard and a good drag. Cosmetics can be very nice with the right rod.

If you search here, the Fiberglass Flyrodders, or the Classic Fly Rod Forum, you'll find many posts and discussion of this reel.

Thanks a lot bobbyq

I have one I picked up years ago at a yard sale (VGIB). It is a 35 and balanced my StCroix 8ft 6wt Imperial perfectly. I wonder if the 76 would be too heavy for a 3-4 rod. Very sturdy reel with good click pawl. However was designed with RH retrieve only (although since it is click pawl I guess I could have the line (and guard) come out the back.

Unfortunately the seller of this item never responded my emails.
