I can only imagine that you must be a batchelor. I am very envious.
The coiled line travels from the reel, it brings up at last, the hook goes home, and then begins the test of skill. "BB"

Thanks for your kind replies, I have been collecting for about 30 years and still going. You will never get them all, out of all those reels there are no doubles. If you think that for each model, say a popular 31/2 inch, there is a narrow drum, wide drum and some models an intermediate drum, then with a lineguard (some models alloy and brass). So that's a possible 5 variations in right-hand and you could get the same again in left-hand.
I am more than happy to help any members of the forum that have any queries regarding Aerial's.
