Title: Pictures of my Cisco 65

I recently found this one on eBay like new in the box. It's the first one I've ever seen in person. I'm not impressed it's cheaply made plastic, I put it in the same class as the Skipper, 088 and 98 Johnson reels. It does have and interesting drag which I will post about later.

Nice. I saw you got it. Had line tag so has to be unused!

More like un-usable until I modified it. The Pinion shaft was stuck in the plastic body. I had to beat it out then reamed the hole out to get it to fit and then turn.
