Sorry, what do you mean by Slater made ones?StefanDuma wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 7:37 pm I love all the variations of the Wallis reels, the Slater made ones - still finding variations - plus the Hardy ones. There are more Hardy ones that I did not know existed. Trying to track down one owned by Wallis with a couple of variations in the construction.
The 3 1/2 inch model is rare and a great acquisition, well done.
David Slater made a number of Wallis reels The Wallis Pike reel in 3 sizes, The Wallis Zephyr and the Improved Wallis Zephyr in two sizes.OhMyGoodness wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 6:08 amSorry, what do you mean by Slater made ones?StefanDuma wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 7:37 pm I love all the variations of the Wallis reels, the Slater made ones - still finding variations - plus the Hardy ones.

I know several manufacturers made Wallis rods, but didn't know they made reels too!
Ok got it, many thanks.OhMyGoodness wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 2:39 pm A true centrepin is like the aerial type or Rapidex etc. Which have a fine point at the tip of the main bearing shaft. This bears on a jewelled bearing in the drum centre cap (Silex or Wallis No.1 ) or a grub screw which can be adjusted for end float (Rapidex, Aerial, Speedia etc.)
These run best held horizontally.
A winch doesn't have a fine point or bearing cap in the drum. So the drum is usually retained by a nut or latch (Eureka, Wallis no.2, Longstone, modern bearing reels).
These winches tend to run less well than the true pins and are best held vertically.
