I picked up this reel today. I have not been able to find ANY information about it online. When I search I only get vintage stuff but cant even find these by their part numbers. Anyone ever seen these before or have any idea when they were made or what they are suitable for? Thanks for any leads. Winchester Baitcasting Reel, Anyone ever seen these before?

Pretty cool, I’d guess it was made by Shimano, has that Calcutta look to it. Definitely not an antique.



Here’s the Calcutta.






And on eBay, I found the freshwater versions.

I can't find the replica reels, though there are some reproduction lures on ebay.

That XTR100 looks identical to an Abu Garcia I had years ago. Made back in the mid 90's. I wouldn't be surprised if it is a rebadged Abu.

I have a Shimano Calcutta and a Daiwa Luna 253. Both are round reels, gold in color, and both were made in Japan so they are high quality reels. The third picture you posted that says CLASSIC on the side plate looks more like the design of the Daiwa.

Thanks for posting because I have never seen a Winchester reel. I have a very old Lews BB1 that says Browning on the side of it. It has never been used and I have the original box and paperwork that came with it. I have it on display only.

No.....But I bet you can shoot docks awesome with it!

Pretty sure that's one of the Garcia models made in the late 90's.
