The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

hi all you smart people.
i am in process of refurbishing my mentor i would like to replace the tri handles for roundish ones I know they are riveted on , no problem as I can sort that size approx. 28mm long . also would love to change three hole centre boss for an aluminium one , any info re the two items appreciated . Andy

I'm keeping an eye on this.
The mordex Mentor was my first centrepin, which I bought as a schoolboy, with pocket money/ Birthday money/ Christmas money.
It was bought from Sawyers fishing tackle of Doncaster.
(near the Railway station)
I would really have liked a Merlin, but these were out of my price range.

The mentor has helped me catch many fish over the years and is still in occasional use.

Nothing fancy about a Mordex Mentor - But they do the job.

All the best.

Neal.

I have one too. Cracking little reel which just feels "right" to me. Fits the size of my hand somehow and spins perfectly. I modified it by adding a couple of thicknesses of cork strip under the line to give a slightly faster retrieve as I have only abot 50 yards of 4lb mono on it for grayling trotting.
Cheers,

Pete
