Oil Cap - Spool Removal - The original vom Hofe Perfection Reel design included a simple oil cap to cover the rear bearing. On the Godfrey Perfection Reel a large brass screw is located under the oil cap. Unscrew the cap and the screw and the back side plate and spool can be removed. Extra spools ARE available - a First for this type reel!
Click Adjustment - The original design provided for no adjustment for sound/pressure in the click, provided was just a simple on or off button. When off the reel would be in free-spool "poachers position". Here the pawl and cog wheel system can be adjusted by the smooth acting adjustment knob. The red detents indicate degree of strength - amount of pressure applied to the pawl by the click spring. Internally the click mechanism is set for either Right or Left Hand Retrieve - a First for this type reel!
Butterfly Drag System - With spool removed one can see the unique vom Hofe drag design with the swinging 'butterfly' arms and the spider preload spring. Drag is set by knob located under the handle arm. The Godfrey Perfection has an excellent drag adjustment mechanism. Vom Hofe made beautiful reels, but often the adjustment was awkward and excessively heavy and not so easy to set a desired amount of drag. Here the adjustment is smooth and predictable from lightest to heaviest pressure - as expected!
