I have been trying to find a manual pick-up for a really nice 306 my neighbor gave me to use - used to be her late husband's reel and she gave it to me when she kept seeing me heading out to fish.

The line roller is not ideal on the reel - so I figured that a manual pickup would replace the needle-like roller with a decent roller assembly and allow me to use fireline on it. Problem is - they are harder to find than an honest politician.

If I run into one - maybe I'll run into a couple and will PM you. That might allow you to use that braid after all.
