Re: Speedia with cast lineguard lugs

Re: Speedia with cast lineguard lugs
The reel was actually given to me by a chap called John Denman. He was Dave Steuarts fishing pal so I would assume that he bought it from Daves' shop in East Twickenham. I didn't bother to ask, as at the time I thought it was just another later version Speedia. He also gave me a wide-drum de-luxe Speedia and a boxed C815 3.75" mint Aerial BUT kept his Rapidex in case he ever did any trotting again. A bit mean I thought! Unfortunately a decade or so of trotting with it is beginning to take its toll and not unlike myself during the Cider Years it's developed a wobble! Like I said I thought you'd be interested.
