Sweet! I love love love my og Fuego! Still the most underappreciated reel ever produced imho.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Here is another "classic" Fuego. Built by Renault and sold by AMC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Fuego

Right on! 8-)

The last year I've been using one on my jig stick. Right now it sit on a Megabass F5-510Xgti Goten Slantbridge I purchased off the boards here a few weeks ago.

This is a NIB one I bought on eBay. Had a 50th zillion handle but I couldn't find size m knob caps in red so I got these knobs to go with my size s red knob caps. And bought a Red Zillion PE Special Spool for it.

Love it! The OG Fuego is a wonderful reel. Mine still gets rotation on the XX Braillist for open water TX rigs.
