I just bought a vintage Fin-Nor reel with a nice vintage matched rod with Fin-Nor rollers. I don't know the age but it's probably from the 60's. It's pretty dirty right now but I'm having the reel completely serviced and should have it back next week. It's not a "monster reel" for monster shark but it's gonna be a blast to use. The drag is crazy. With all of the downsides with using vintage gear it always feels good to catch something on a setup like this!
Whoa! That thing is pretty cool! I love the vintage rods and reels. Im looking for a "leather drag" with no anti reverse to build a rod to Tarpon and Blacktip fish 
Good way to bust up your nuckles though 
.
The drag clicker screams...sounds like a jet engine!
Man they built those reels like tanks, now a days you drop your precious stella or saltist your asking for trouble.
Just an average fisherman.
i was reading on another site that those tycoon fin-nor rollers on the rod were around 500$ for a set of them back when they were made.
Nice setup there love the older reels
