I bought it from a friend of mine a couple of years ago for £5, it also came with the box and papers, the only thing wrong with the reel is the original owner scratched his initials on the inside of the spool. I won,t be using this one.

Can anyone tell me anything about it? Is it modern??

I've just bought one of these and another version, the 'Featherflo'. Both for very little money at all but they both seem more than capable of doing the job I require. I wanted a pin to use fishing a small Lincolnshire river using my Christmas present from the wife. Along the course of the river I could be fishing for minnows and gudgeon in the upper reaches to 5lb chub where it opens up a bit. At the prices I paid I can have one loaded with 3lb line and one with 6lb.
