I'm in love..... I may have to cast aside my loyal Trudex for another centrepin...... no ide who made it, but when I picked it out of a box today and gave it a spin it made a cynical old tackle dealer smile! Starback bakelite in an aerial style, nickel silver "german" rim, the tiniest of spool wobble (I think I've found how to dcorrect this now) - but runs like an absolute dream. Seriously - smooth as butte.
I love it.
The buggered Allcocks Stanley that was in the same box I'm less enamoured with......
Sooooooooooooooooooo smooth!

Beautiful reel, almost certainly made by David Slater in Newark.
