the johnson model 80 is the last of the sidewinders, a reel my stepfather loved. he believed the sidewinders were the best reels johnson ever produced, and if he were alive today he would still be fishing with one. i am rather fond of fishing with one of these as well. its a wonderful experience. if only we could get a modern version of this reel complete with anti reverse feature and faster retrieve speeds. maybe i should get to work on this ?
