Hendryx baitcasting reel 7'5" The Plano box measures 14"For sale here is a well preserved Hendryx baitcasting reel. 3 1 2" 200yd. No cracks in the ebonite and the screws are all in excellent condition. With unusually good plating (almost 100%) this reel is much more well preserved than most other reels you will see of this type. The "Hendryx" stamp on the ebonite is nice and crisp to this day. The reel spins a bit stiffly and is somewhat noisy.
