TO
THOSE WHO WANT ONLY THE FINEST
--
We
would like to introduce the MEPPS "Super Meca" spinning reel by saying,
"It compares in many respects to the world famous Rolls-Royce
automobile that has gained its unequalled reputation through
performance." Super Meca has been a leader in Europe for some time and,
after testing it thoroughly ourselves for the past three years, we are
convinced it has a place among the discriminating fishermen of the
United States. It is common knowledge that there are plenty of open and
closed type spinning reels here right now. Most of them are reasonably
good pieces of equipment and are being sold in line with their true
value. However, the Mepps "Super Meca" Is in a class by itself. The
cost is commensurate with the quality and it is made only for those who
insist on the very finest and are willing to pay for it. The "Super
Meca" reel like the world famous Mepps Original French Spinner, is made
for performance not just to look at. It is a precision instrument made
rugged to do a trouble free job day after day and year after year. Its
design incorporates the basic principles it takes to get top
performance for the spin fisherman. That design coupled with the best
in material and superior workmanship in construction make a reel the
owner can be justly proud of. Needless to say, the "Super Meca" has
many exclusive features all of which were painstakingly tested and
proven before becoming a part of it. These features include the
precision made ball-bearing and the unbreakable nylon "Quick Change
Spool" illustrated here. We might also mention the collapsible reel
stand or built in drag that is not affected by spool changes. The above
are only a few of the things that put the Mepps "Super Meca" in a class
by itself and we ask that you review them as listed and illustrated on
the opposite page. After doing so we are certain you will agree when we
say, "There is a place for the "Super Meca" in the United States. Every
fisherman who is a lover of truly fine equipment will want one."
WHAT
YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE MEPPS SUPER MECA SPINNING REEL
- QUICK
CHANGE SPOOL: Patented, (U. S. Patent 2,942,799)
Unbreakable nylon... has smooth rounded lip and perfect cross wind for long easy
casts.
- FOLDING REEL STEM: For easy carrying, packing and
inexpensive
replacement if accidentally broken. Foot of stem has small vertical
risers for maximum rigidity. Stem is set at back of reel to provide
perfect balance of rod in the hand at the fisherman. This position
permits the angler to have his entire hand ahead of the stem rather
than between his fingers where it becomes uncomfortable with prolonged
use.
- SPOOL CARRIER: glides smoothly back and forth over the
drum
instead of inside it. Thereby making it impossible for the line to get
behind the spool and tangle around the shaft.
- AUTOMATIC SPEED REDUCER: Handle stops instantaneously.
Prevents loose coils of line on spool or accidental reverse rotation of
handle.

to
