Look at the famous Johnson firsts: Top-mounted Selecto-Dial Drag; change-easy spool, factory-loaded with 6-lb. test mono filament; dual anti-reverse and right- or left-hand retrieve on any fishing rod; dia-: chrome rotor and tungsten-carbide pickup pin.
Really look at the Johnson Century. Note backlash free casting; smooth, powerful drag; how easy it is to handle; how cleanly it nests on your rod.
Manufactured from 1957 to the end of 1962 replaced by the 100B in 1963
