An ex-fishing buddy of mine, no longer interested,( and a bit crocked) has just dropped on me, a couple of reels......a Penn 525Mag. and a Daiwa 7ht Mag.....externally, they're in a bit of a state.
'just use 'em for as long as you like", was what he said.
They are both filled about three-quarters full and given a good strong flick of the thumb, they spin like hell for over 30 secs.
In his fishing years, he was a big lad.......but surely such free-spinning reels are way beyond the needs of practical fishing .... I dunno, I never had much to do with mag-reels, though on impulse, I bought a battleship of a Penn 970 mag when they were first out......not that it did me any good.
Perhaps tomorrow I will open up his 7HT mag and see what devilment lurks within.
