I’ve spent a few hours reading through the patents. One thing I found while pulling them up was they would come up with just a button to open images. Once I opened that, only the front page would display. I had to select “full documents” to get the rest. I’ll never remember all of this info but it’s fun to read.
Hi Rick, I am watching your video, so I don't know if you know this or not. If you don't I'll tell you what a friend told me years ago when I found an old Norka reel. Pflueger was in Akron, OH. and Norka is Akron spelled backwards
Thanks James, I needed that bit of info. When I picked up the reel I thought, “what the heck does Norka mean?” I mean they can name things whatever they want but usually there some kind of meaning in a name.
My Pflueger Akron has that same level wind assembly. I've seen that across multiple Pflueger models. I find it interesting that Norka is Akron spelled backwards.
Dan, I have another old Pflueger reel and I believe it may have the same level wind, but since I didn’t realize it was a removable assembly I never took it out like that.
Love this stuff very interesting

Rick, I wrote you a comment but Google refused to let me post it. Grrrrrrrrr!
