Reel King Kong
- King Kong 1933 ★★★ Mar 04, 2021. There is no review for this diary entry. The Reel House liked these reviews All. Reviewed by DanTheMan123.
- 'Reel King' reels were produced and marketed by SOMACO (Southern Machinery Company), a South Carolina textile machinery manufacturer of which James Stuart was president. Stuart was an avid angler, spending much of his time aboard his boat, the 'Peggy B'.
- The most interesting part of the game is also the most potentially rewarding, as the Reel King feature kicks in at random. When this occurs a funny cartoon King pops up on the screen with a mini slot game on his chest – and you can have more than one of these actively playing at the same time.
- A very under-appreciated monster movie. King Kong Lives takes place 10-years after King Kong (1976) and begins with a brief review of that first film's closing moments as U.S. Army combat helicopters shoot Kong off the Empire State Building.
'Reel King' reels were produced and marketed by SOMACO (Southern Machinery Company), a South Carolina textile machinery manufacturer of which James Stuart was president. Stuart was an avid angler, spending much of his time aboard his boat, the 'Peggy B'. The story goes that one day, upon mentioning to his captain, Duke Sanchez, his interest in diversifying his business and possibly breaking into the fishing and boating arena, Sanchez mentioned that he knew a fellow who'd done some reel design and had a few patents on trolling reels. The fellow turned out to be Fred Grieten, father of the Fin-Nor reel.
Gigantopithecus, a giant ape once described as a real-life King Kong, went extinct because it couldn’t adapt to a changing food landscape, according to new research published in the journal Quaternary International.
Since the sale of Fin-Nor, Fin-Nor founder, Fred Grieten had applied for a patent in 1960 for a new 'sealed brake mechanism for a fishing reel', which was granted on March 27, 1962. A second patent was for 'A drag Mechanism for a Fishing Reel' filed for on July 2, 1964, and granted on April 25, 1967. Both patents were to be used in a Grieten designed reel manufactured by Stuart's company.

Stuart and Grieten reached an agreement and formed a division of SOMACO called Kaperkrafts, which produced a line of boating products and the 'Reel King' line of trolling reels. Fred Grieten also agreed to be a consultant to SOMACO during the development of the new reel.
Reel production started in late 1970. As with his early Fin-Nor reels, Grieten's Reel King reels were bomb-proof, though carrying a more modern look. Stuart died on November 3, 1972, and Kaperkrafts Division halted production a year later. 'Reel King' reels thus had a short production run and never had a chance to catch on with anglers.
