Unless you want to buy a reel that lasts for, oh, say, three days, don't get the "Brass Reel (Large)" made in India. Piece of garbage. Guess I'll hang on for a P&L, Owens, or Kirkendall. I guess I should've known better, but it did make the Rabi-Duck work for a couple days at least. I'll try to re-wind the spring and all that, and maybe it'll be passable, if not loud, but now I know.

Some good magic comes from India but is far and few. Tannen's had some good reels, you might want to check them out.

Fixed mine, and I do agree, there are some good tricks and props that are made in India, but this ain't one of 'em. Thanks for the suggestion.

The reel I really use was $2 from Office Depot. It is actually for a name tag and is clear plastic. Because of the clip, I can keep it on my watch band. I wish my expensive reels worked as well!

It seems like all the good reels are the older reels and these are not manufactured anymore.

The last reel that I bought was a cheap plastic S.S. Adams reel. It worked much more reliably than the expensive brass reel I owned 20 years ago. Beware of an opening that wears away at the thread.
