Vintage Argus 500 Spinning Reel Rare Japanese Fishing Tackle. This is a vintage Japanese spinning reel, an Argus 500. The Google machine gave me nothing on this very rare reel when I was searching for information. I've no idea of its age - 1950's or 60's perhaps? - or its value. I do know it is an incredibly smooth running reel, with perfect bail action and anti-reverse mechanism. The only thing keeping it from being a 10/10 mechanically is that the drag adjustme...nt tends to loosen if the spool is turned against the drag tension. I have tried to show the cosmetic condition in the photos, including some paint flaws in the last two photos. It has a really cool anti-reverse selector, the large, round, ivory colored disk below the chrome handle, with matching ivory colored drag knob and crank knob. This would be a great addition to a collection of vintage reels. Like I said, I have no idea of its value, so I'm just posting it with a $35 starting bid and we'll see what happens. Check my feedback and bid with confidence that your satisfaction is my #1 priority. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
