Title: Laker 140 version pictures
Post by: salmonfishing on September 20, 2016, 01:33:40 PM
Here are pictures of two versions of the Laker Model 140 reel. The early version with the green front cover and a later version with the red front cover. What is interesting to me is that Johnson not only changed the front cover, handle and handle nut on the later version, they also added a feature internally that allowed you to adjust the range of the drag setting. You can see that feature in the last picture and also read it in the item #4 in the owner doc.
