CASTING “BAS-KIT” REEL. A great depression era sidemount fly
reel, this reel was patented by Dr. Elmer Sellers [see above] on Feb.
13, 1934. According to reel historian Steve Vernon, Sellers apparently
produced the reels himself in a back room of his drug store. The Bas-Kit
reel was a modernized version, and a casual look alike, of the
Billinghurst but came along 75 years after the original. It was
manufactured in Kutztown, Pennsylvania. The reel is rare since all reels
were apparently hand made and only a very limited number were produced.
