Lews big game rod with afco bent butt.lews black gold ,speed stick ,speed glass ,TR 80 w ,Fuji sic.Is this a collectable rod?I can't find out anything about it.Lew Childre actually grew up in my home town
I have seen these bushings seized to the housing.I built a jig out of a threaded rod with nuts and washers to push them out.It worked on some and busted the top part of the housing on others.This is rare and occurs on extremely neglected reels.It comes out the top.Bushing and pinion.
