As he has done so many times during my life, my older brother got me out of a jam again: he gave me a reel that will meet my needs. It is an old Hardy Viscount disc drag 5/6 reel. Despite the fact that it is labeled a 5/6 reel, it holds my WF7F line and 50 yards of 30 lb dacron backing. I guess when this reel was made, the standard for rating reels was the double taper line, which takes up more space on a reel than today's standard, the WF line.

I would like to express my thanks to those who kindly contacted me with options for a reel.
