SOLD

 

 

Hello chaps. Long time.

 

I’m thinking of selling my Witcher Avon Elite, and wonder if any of you pinheads are interested?

 

It’s the Avon Elite II model, serial number 47 (so very late production and brilliantly perfected, of which type only about fifteen were made). It is the 4 ½ inch, narrow drum model. It’s very, very like the Bisterne in construction and aesthetics, and like all Witchers is a rare and special thing. Utterly beautiful, feather light, slick as an eel in a bucket of oil, and it’s probably the finest trotting reel in existence. I have extensive correspondence with Paul about this particular reel, which is in worshipped condition, and would include this in the sale, along with the owners certificate and original leather pouch.

 

I’ll consider offers

 

Best,

 

Mike.

What's interesting is that, though anglers are rarely surprised by a totally grim day, we nearly always maintain our optimism. We understand pessimism because our dreams are sometimes dented by the blows of fate, but always our hope returns, like a primrose after a hard winter. ~ C. Yates.

Hi Chris. Hope you’re well.

 

Yes, I’ll put up some pictures as soon as I get organised. I have a vague feeling I put some on this site a couple of years ago, but am rubbish at searching.

Hi,

I don't post often, but do get email notifications and I missed the sale of 'No. 002' by a few days all that time ago by MikeT I think. And I would absolutely love this reel. However, my heart is set on a wide drum 1920 Aerial copy so I'm going to have wait - and quite probably for a very long time, unless someone has one they could part with (that would be used). Anyone 'help' me out?

 

Regards,

Alan D

which is in worshipped condition,

 

 

:D

 

I would love such an item Mike but I think it would be slightly out of my price range..........especially now you've got two of AN's "Pin Moguls" into a bidding war! ;) May the best man (or should that be biggest wallet?) win!

And thats my "non indicative opinion"!

Count me in please Mike, as Tigger a pm with your guide price would be helpful.

 

I honestly believe that crack cocaine would be a cheaper addiction for you two!
