That's a cracker, Sir ... I have two ... one in gold and one in silver grey.

Re: Monarch MK1
Why did they stop making reels that are pretty to look at. Modern plastic reels just dont have the lines, looking more like something of star trek than a fishing reel. I have quite a few Intrepids, or Morritts, but I don't have a Monarch. Picked up a black prince at a car boot the other day, £1.

I tend to agree ... but the gold has a certain '60's psychedelic charm ... well ... to those of us who can at least remember some of the '60's !!!Ljm183 wrote:They look better in silver grey

Re: Monarch MK1
Only just managed to take some pictures of my mint in box Morritts 'intrepid'. I love the handle design. I've not fished with it yet, I'm toying with the idea of putting it away and buying a one in lesser condition as a user reel. Shame the bail is a bit primitive, still, it adds to the look of the reel with the trigger grip and rubber stopper.
