Bloody hell, doesn't anyone sleep around here

Sadly not! Unless I resort to the horrible chemicals prescribed by the doctors!

BUDGIE:

Both of the reels are sold allready.The Areial went for £275 and the Swallow for £150.The Areial went to a local collector who had been pestering me about it for many years after seeing me use it on the Stour one winters day.He reckoned it was in far to good a condition to fish with! His mate brought the Swallow when they both came around to get the first reel!A bit sad to see the Areial go as Ive had it a long time,picked it up when I was into the match fishing in the 80's but no great attachment to the Dave Swallow reel other than it was a good tool.

 

Sorry the reel is the Aventa Pro.

 

Rudd if you still have the contact information I would be most grateful.

Aghhhhhh what have you done there Budgie I could gone you a favour and give you a better price than what you have got it sold for

 

I think you have regreted it mate.

[Elton]

Is the Avensis the almost black bronzey one?

 

If so, my mate has just bought one and is over the moon.

[Dick Dastardly]

Yes Elton,I got the name wrong its "Aventa" Pro.Didnt you try one of those KP pins?

 

Andy,you more than anyone know my situation,Had no choice really.I could have got a bit more for the Swallowe maybe but the Areial was about right.Had always promised the guy first refusal on the Areial it was just a co incidence that his mate was with him and saw the Swallow.Didnt offer them to you mate as I didnt think yopu would want to pay that much for a piece of kit you would only use occaisionally.

 

If I can get one of these Okuma reels for around the £75-£80 mark and its as good as all say then I will be happy.If I have to pay much more than I might regret not hanging on to the Swallow.

Got a feeling that other traders complained to Okuma about retailers e-baying new items at cut prices.
