I remember a guy back home when I was a kid who used one of the reels that hung under the bottom like a spinning reel, I think it was the only one I every saw. I think Shakespeare made a casting rod version with a thumb button also that was one of the better spincast reels out there. The reel in the bottom left hand corner and the rod handle on top of my shadowbox was my first fishing tackle that didn't involve a cane pole. The lure in the center of the 4 snapshots was my fire fishing lure, from the same Christmas, 1957.
