This is a fine example of the airex beachcomber model 1 surf reel. The reel is in excellent cosmetic condition. There are a few minor scuffs as pictured. The reel is in excellent mechanical condition. All features, drag, and anti reverse work as designed. I am not 100% sure about this but I believe the beachcomber is the first reel to use this style of bail kicker. Penn, Daiwa and Shimano would copy the idea in many of their future reels. This early surf reel would be a fine addition to your spinning reel or airex collection.
