Hi All,

You see a lot of the old Martin fly reels on Ebay. I have a Martin, and you see a lot of 61s, 63s, 65s, and others.

Apparantly the Martins were not the cutting edge fly reel, but a bunch of plain folks like myself must have used them.

My question is what is the straight dope on the various "#60" models? Were some better than others? What line capacity did the different models have?

Which one or ones are the best match for a 3 wt or 5 wt. I fish primarily small streams and also warm water fish for bluegills.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Gandolf
