Yes I'm sure you're right. I didn't mean to say they were all Magnums.

Thanks for that Ljm183. Clearly very different animals! I learn something every time I visit this site.

Re: Magnum Blue,s
I have a couple of the Leeds reels and they spin like a top although the bearings seem noisy, but run smoothly...if that makes sense. The only thing that puts me off them is that wretched milled edge, it burns your fingers when used as a slipping clutch.

Re: Magnum Blue,s
I'm a little confused or I have missed something in the previous conversations. There is no mention of a Magnum red which I am actually holding in my grubby little hands at this moment. 4 .25". It's not a bright red in fact I am not sure what I would call the colour really. But definitely a Magnum. Serial no 3 made in Fareham.
