That is thing of beauty John and a truly wonderful reel.

Paid for, or not, I have always believed that anything handmade with love is a gift.

Superb reel, and a superb sequence of photos!

I got excited just following the unwrapping and unveiling.

A stunning piece of work. The Aerial Match 2 No.6 purrs just as sweetly

I myself am a benefactor of Leszek's kindness. That man is a saint and that reel is absolutely lovely. What a fantastic gift and Leszek if you read this I am still about and still using my speedia you so kindly gave me. I'll even be taking it to Redmire this year with me, so who knows it may even catch me a Redmire carp. Thanks once again my friend and thanks for being such a kind advocate of this forum. People like you make this world a better place.

God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.

It is such a wonderful reel! I have been privileged to have had the prototype for a few weeks and although WM+ says it is flawed (ha ha!), I can't really imagine it being better.
I am in awe and take my hat off to the maker :Hat: :wave:
