Re: jecta 3
This seems to be the same as the "Big Piker" . Great for that but a bit OTT for normal trotting reel - unless piking!
Wide drum - brake and ratchet.

Re: jecta 3
Hi blokes,
The Jecta name is widely used by G&Y, and certainly the Jecta 3 would be OK for trotting. It's really just a bigger version of the Avon Crown, with a wider spool and deeper arbor. The SeaJecta and the Big Piker (plastic version of the SeaJecta) are a beefed up version of an Avon Royal supreme. Have a lookif you can at Whiteadders virtual fly fishing , where you will find an article on G&Y and there is a full 1950s brochure at the bottom, it's very useful.
