Just missed out on this reel on Ebay!!!! Went for around £15 with postage, was that a good price? Anyone know much about these??

I think it's lovely!!!

It is a nice reel SK, but I can't help on this one.

They are OK. I had the higher-spec Europa once (the same reel as Yates caught his first twenty pounder on) and it was surprisingly smooth and well-built - far better than the Intrepid Elite, though not in the same class as the Ambidex, Mitchell or Altex. I don't know who made these early Shakespeare reels, but they were also sold under the Galion and Winfield brands.

Wonderful, thanks for the info GOS. At least with this knowledge we're sharing I know what to buy and what not to buy. :hat:
