A recent purchase. The line pins are bent.

Re: Sea Aerial
Pleased it all works.... assuming it came from "that place online" I was tempted to bid but the seller's exhaustive description of faults put me off!

Re: Sea Aerial
It did!
I thought that I’d take a chance anyway because my grandfather used one for pike fishing and the other similar reel on ‘that’ site was 400 quid.
The reel foot was bent, so I bent it back and half an hour with an old toothbrush and some light oil did the trick. I’m really pleased with it.

Re: Sea Aerial
looks just the ticket ,good choice i'd say plenty of space for line .not too heavy or bulky . 
I try to be funny... but sometimes I merely look it! Steve

Re: Sea Aerial
That is a splendid purchase - warts an all - good luck in the Pike quest, very fitting you should give it a whirl - after all your Grandfather did use one - so the tradition continues.
