Welcome to the forum.
I'm about to embark on getting myself a small collection of youngs reels in the near future. Your advice would be very welcome.

A hearty welcome, Sir.

Re: New Member.. JockScott. Allcocks reels
Hi Jockscott, and welcome to the forum.
In 1947, while still at school, I bought myself an Allcocks Aerolite reel, which was made of Bakelite, which I mostly used for pike fishing, with some success. The reel lasted some 10 years, before It fell off the rod one cold winters day and broke into too many pieces to glue together in those pre Araldite days !!!
I recently saw an Aerolite in good condition at a local car boot sale, and bought it before my wife could stop me !!!
Hopefully, we will be able to have a conversation, so that I may learn more about the reel and its history.

Welcome aboard Sir
Not a fish was visible that first time I visited Beechmere; an utter
stillness brooded over the place and I felt the strange and sinister atmosphere which, so the story goes,
has been the cause of several suicides.’
