HISTORY:  This reel was manufactured for the first time before 1941, with a plastic spool, and wasn't discontinued until the late 80's, when it was replaced by the 180L. In 1941 models were not part of any series, but by 1958 this model was given the name "Baymaster" and the 185-model was added to the series. In the late 80's the metal spool was the default, but the plastic spool was still available as an accessory.

Name/Series: 180, Baymaster
