More stuff found in the depths of the cupboard 

These were good little fly reels and a popular choice back in the day

My first reel was a 395, it's still going strong. Landed my first Salmon on the fly using it

My first feel was an automatic Mitchell, if you caught a half punner it would water ski across the surface to you😊

And here's another one that was a popular choice.

It was a bit rough when I got it, but there again, it has stood the test of time and still works absolutely fine

Still got my Magnum bought new when they were introduced and that works fine too. Must try it on the 15' wafter - may balance it nicely. Which makes me think - what is the best way to pack a small arbor reel to make it like a large arbor? Need to replace the existing 10 weight line for a 3 weight.
