Excerpt from the 1948 Pflueger Pocket Catalog-

Never before has a reel enjoyed such success as The Pflueger Skilkast Reel, a combination of skilled workmanship and engineering. The Mechanical Thumber automatically thumbs the spool; adjustable to suit the line and lure used, and to the casting style of the fisherman. The Skilkast is suitable for all fresh water fishing, especially Bass, Pike, Muskallunge, Pickerel and Wall-eyes.
