The house I'm sharing is with another collector/fisho- he has mainly much older stuff than mine- there are about 200 reels on the walls, plus heaps more stuff- we have been calling it a "museum" for years! Won't bore everyone with too many reel pictures (will take a couple of "wall shots" tomorrow instead)- just a couple more 'significant' reels to follow this tonight 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazatherfisherman Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Old "Capstan Whirlaway 77"- these were highly desired when first on the market. Capstan made quite a few reels, but were later better known for plastic hand-lines! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazatherfisherman Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Last pic for tonight - for those who haven't seen Tuna-poling hooks, this is what they look like- no bait used,just tied straight to pole line. Sometimes if Tuna extra large, 2 lines and poles to 1 hook 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fragmeister Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I wondered what they looked like. Now I understand how they got them off the hooks so easily. ThanskWazza. Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazatherfisherman Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 There is also a paper-mache "White Pointer" about 10 ft long hanging from the ceiling! Made for a father-daughter school project- will include a photo of it tomorrow also. Glad everyone's enjoying the posts and big thanks to noelm for starting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Jim Hi Jim yes I used to wonder that also- shows how "frenzied" the tuna get when they release the bait, as 'lure/hook" not exactly a "fish replica" Cheers Waza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 When the Tuna are brought in close to the boat, a spray of water is spread across the surface, viewed from under the surface, it looks like bait fish, the pole hook/lure is just lowered in, the Tuna hit it instantly and are simple "poled" aboard, no reels involved, when the fish hits the deck, the pressure on the slight bend on the hook is released and it just falls out, and flipped back over the side again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfish Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 To many great photos to like them all ........ this is fantastic. That Capstan Whirlaway 77.
