Chesters,
we have been reviewing our fly reel stocks and identifying some spares. Have given a Leeda Rimfly to the friend who ahs just started up. I also discovered that I have an Intrepid Rimfly Regular, a shock as they have always been BFR or Leeda since I started fly fishing. Cannot even remember where I got it from. Given your affection for Intrepids its yours if you would like it. Just tell me where to post it to. Sadly all the intrepid fix spools I used as a kid have long gone. Cheers -------------------- Malcolm Evans

If the body and spool are a Bronze colour and it does not have a drag system, then it will be an Interpid. They were originally made and marketed by Intrepid (K P Morritt) before the days of Leeda. Colour changed when the Leeda name was added.

Cheers for the info. It is a bronzy grey, certainly not the grey of the Leeda models I have from the early 90s. I remembered where I got it from, it was in a wicker creel, that I still sit on during my rare maggot drowning trips, that I purchased from a friend 11 years ago. The basket and reel were his dad's and his dad died in 1978, I am certain of this because we were at school together at the time. My friend sold me the stuff as he had never and did not fish. I also got a fly rod with it, card tag tied to the bag says East Anglian Rod company, a heavy glass rod with rings lined with a white material. I was surprised that with no adjustable check that it has a quick release spool. On the back in the centre is the head of a large normal screw, still shining brightly, also an area on the back plate is raised.
