GR Cage

It's not quite the same but a standard cage can be made to work. On a GR the level wind is retained by part of the moulding on the LH inner end plate. Standard cages have two little lugs the hold a spring plate to retain the level wind. To make a normal cage fit you need to nip these off or the side plates won't fit properly and grid it flat. If you want a CT type reel, find a later CT cage as these are not on anyway.

No problem, I have 4 GR's plus another couple in bits. The cages go first on these. I think they used a tinted lacquer instead of powder coating. If you haven't taken the Mag control out before, beware ! it's not for the faint hearted !!
