Title: WARDS HAWTHORNE 60-6403
Post by: Huckster37 on February 26, 2017, 05:34:39 PM

This reel is in very good condition. It was very dirty, not anymore. I think it's a copy of the original Sabra 130. It has an anti-reverse spring like the old 710 I have. It also has copper coated gears like that 710.

Great pictures. I like seeing all of the parts. Is the spring anti reverse hard to correctly get back on the reel?

It's not to bad once you know what you've got. Check my 710 post here on this site and the link below. When I first discovered one of these springs it caught me off guard, so I took a lot of pictures and posted them. On the fishing talks link below we had a long dialog going about this anti-reverse system.
