Someone posted specs on another site indicating a capacity of 260 yards of 20# mono. I'm more than a little skeptical of those specs, since that's about what the much bigger 302 holds

I'm basing my guess on what I remember my aunt's 306 held. Bearing in mind of course that 15# mono of the 60s was a lot thicker than the mono we have today.

thx everyone

Any idea how i could tell how old it is.
If its not valuable how does it fish compared to say a 704?
I heard that some have aluminum gears that can be stripped. I pump the rod and pick up line w/ the reel so most of the stress is on the anti reverse i guess.

Is the gearing more complex than a 704?
Can the reel be dunked?
Can the reel be packed?
thx
