content: Anti-Backlash fishing reel made by the South Bend Bait Company. According to the donor, William A. Strong of Cleveland, Ohio, it was purchased at Chicago's Marshall Field and Company in 1920 and used on a "Imperia" steel casting rod Strong said "The reel was used for casting, trolling, and still fishing on Burt, Crooked, Pickerel and Hound Lakes located in Emmet County, Michigan, the French River and Lake Timagami in Canada. Every time I fished forbass, pike and wall-eyes in Northern Michigan, or Canada this reel wasmounted on the rod for most of the fishing. The last use was in August 1963 on Crooked and Pickerel Lakes in Michigan."
