Title: January 2018 Reel of the Month
Post by: AL on January 01, 2018, 02:26:08 PM

"Back in the Spring of 1949 a remarkable man named Lloyd Johnson introduced a remarkable
innovation to American sport fishing - the closed - face spincasting reel.  He called this first
production model of his invention the Johnson " Sidewinder".

Here was a reel that could cast far, flat, and straight, with lures much lighter than any casting
reel before. Yet a reel so simple in design-so dependable in operation-that a good many "Sidewinders"
still go fishing every Spring.
