Hello ladies and gentlemen, here's a Speedia with factory cast lineguard lugs. It's the only one that my friends or myself have ever seen. It may be of interest to you.

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.
