Hi Keith,

I 'bat' the reel to retrieve and normally put my finger in the holes only when playing a fish, as well as batting.

Hope this helps.

Yep when playing a fish and batting to retrieve, unless a heavy float and fast current don't allow.

Line off the top so batting away from oneself!

Many thanks for the kind offer Peter, and I will bring it for your opinion.
However, I am normally fairly handy at this kind of thing, so I made a key to fit the double sided slot. I put the key in the vice and offered up the reel, thinking to turn the (larger) reel, rather than the (smaller) key, thus giving me more purchase. Anyway, the nut did not move on the shaft - the shaft (together with the seized nut) rotated (against strong resistance) within the reel.
I don't have the facilities or knowledge to do more, and even if I did, I would be concerned about damaging the seized components or the reel itself.
The upshot is I just wanted to clean and service it, so right now my thinking is I will probably leave it alone, unless you can suggest something.
See you 13th

At the end of the game, the pawn and the King go back into the same box........
