J.W.Young Purist centerpin 2040 serial# 25
« on: January 22, 2016, 11:43:02 PM »
Selling a rare collection center pin reel from prestigious J.W.Young & Sons, the 25th serial # of this reel model in the world. Still in great shape, spinning very smooth with minor cosmetic wear. The Purist reel is at retail $450+ CAD in below sites, I am asking $250 obo for this rare collection item.

If interested, text me at 604-318-5798

See a purist reel and the retail price on these sites:

I had one of those. I used it till I wore right through the bushing. Loved that reel.

ya, very good reel, smooth and light. Good for the hands for long hours of steelheading. Being a low serial# of 25, I treat this reel like a collector item and used my other pins more. I have 3 pins altogether. So this reel should last for a long time.

So if you like a light, smooth, lightly used, and a reel of tradition and prestige, this is the reel for you. Give me an offer if you like.

Does the reel have a line guard? I guess it could be fished left or right handed? Is it bearing or bushing?
Thx

The Purist II reel has 2 ball bearings from publications, but I am not sure if mine is ball bearing or bushing. How can you tell physically without taking apart the inside? No line guard for this reel.
