The Pflueger Fishing Tackle Co. has been manufacturing and selling fishing tackle since 1881. I'm not sure if the first were introduced in 1400-Series Medalist Fly Reels, but there had been a long time ago to be. I am with 6 models of the early Medalist 1400-series that Pflueger familiar. These include numbers: 1492, 1492-1/2, 1494, 1494-1/2, 1495, 1495-1/2, 1498, and the1498-1 / 2. The difference between the models that have the same number, the width of the coil. For example, the 1495 and the1495-1/2 the same diameter but the spool 1495-1/2 had a larger coil, which will become more fly line support have .. The 1492 and 1498 models do not seem very popular. The 1492 are a very small reel with a 2-3/16 "dia. Reel. The Model 1498, had a 3-11/16" dia. Coil, was tall and heavy for its time. All the 1400 is anything to set a fair system and it originally came with a right-hand crank, which can be converted to a left hand crank, if so desired. All of the early1400 have a tough black paint.
Look at the models that have been made in the USA during the mid-50's, 60's and 70's, they were and still are, a reliable and durable reel. The 1400 Series Medalist Fly Reels can make a good inexpensive backup role, brother-in-law fly reel, or a starter role for the beginning fly fisher. Plus, you can purchase one of these roles in almost new condition at a great price on the market uses. There are three models to consider,Depending on your needs. The broad model # 1494-1/2's a nice little trout reel. It has a 2-11/16 "dia. Coil, which easily holds 50 yards 20lb Fly Line WF-5 support and a fly line. The narrow spool # 1495 for trout, which another has 3 1 / 16" dia. Spool holds 75 meters 20lb basis and the WF-7 fly line. The large coil # 1495-1/2 for larger game fish has the same diameter as the spool # 1495, and it can hold about 150 yards of 20 lb. fly line WF-8 support, and a line of flight.
The newestMember Medalist fly reel is made, the 1500RC Series overseas. These newer versions are basically the same role as the 1400-series, but the 1500RC have an aluminum alloy rim control spool and frame. The "RC" is a very popular feature with many of the newer fly reels on the market today. It allows the angler to "palm" of the coil and if necessary, to increase the drag pressure when fighting a big fish. Why is this so important to you, if you have an older 1400-series Medalist own? Here's the goodNews: The coils are interchangeable. So if you are the proud owner of a 1960's Pflueger Medalist Model # 1495, you can contact your local dealer or fly sport shop and order a new Medalist 1595 RC (RIM control) coil and it will fit your old # 1495th
The only problem that might have with the Medalist Series Fly Reels, the screws that hold together under the role that can become loose and need tightening from time to time. This can be achieved with lock-tight cement, found at localHardware stores.
