The proof is in the pudding and it could turn out to be a good little user regardless of if it is well known or not. I bought a reel at a boot fair called an Alcedo and had never heard of it, it turned out to be lovely and smooth in use. It sounded like it was made for an online grocery shopping delivery service :Wink:

Those Alcedo reels were good quality and quite expensive at the time £11 5s
Ambidex MK6 £6 9s 6d
There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.
