    Rare VINTAGE 1940's Hurd Super Caster Fishing Reel - Walnut Pistol Grip Handle, in absolutely gorgeous condition.
    Originally sold for , the Supercaster was not for everyone. It was a work of art; an all-in-one combination of a machined, aluminum reel,  a sturdy walnut grip (in early models), and a rod crafted from surplus World War II tank antennas.
    It was a serious piece of fishing equipment for the serious gamefish angler, because—seriously—that rod could have been a few inches away from riding atop a rolling, armored cannon in the Battle of the Bulge.
