 56055.   PRECISION REELS  3-1/2" MODEL 810 REEL BY K P OUTFITTERS.
   These incredibly well made salt water reels were manufactured for only a very short time in Trenton, NJ. They have a unique mechanical design that is simple and very efficient. The fit and finish is as good as today's very best reels and I suspect the company did not ultimately succeed only because the reels they were producing were worth far more than they were being sold for at the time. The profit margin just could not have been there for them. These reel were that good! There were two sizes, this size 810 and a larger size the 1012. This reel takes an 8 to 10 weight line and 200 yards and is the consummate Salmon, Permit and Bonefish reel. All Black, highly polished finish. Silent outgo Adjustable drag PLUS Rim Control.
