i'l give one a real test ,a tackle owner handed over a new box to me saying its unbreakable ,i put it on the floor and put my heel through its lid handed it back and told him he was wrong!

 

ps if your trying to improve something make it ambidextrous ,self cleaning and guarantee anyone can cast 200 yards with it at a minimum and a warning buzzer tells you when to apply your thumb at night

That's fine by me, you review for the masses and I'll review for the select few, starting with these super looking reels.

are these frames available to buy or will they be soon? If so how much, where, and any other info would be much appreciated.

Takes me back a few years, (actually quite a few ) I used to machine one piece solid frames and "insert" Penn100 reels in to them. Also made ally spools for them.

 

Not well up with modern multis, but assumed they all had rigid frames nowadays ?

 

Anyone remember the little lever drag model I had reviewed by Ian Gillespie in Angling? (about 30 years ago)

 

Good luck with your project

It's good to see some quality coming back into angling, it makes a change from the throw away mentality.

[chesters1]

has anyone actually tried one yet or is it badly veiled advertising?

I think it's called "Generating an interest" but if they are as good as they look I'm all for it.

I've had this for about six months now ... one I knocked up myself.

 

Not as pretty as the commercial ones .. but still runs like a dream !!
