Share my joy ... early Rapidex ,Flick em & Floatcraft trinity

Post by Keston »

Hi chaps
I'm a happy fellow having just taken delivery of a Rapidex . I wanted to complete the set of crackle front Rapidex ,Flick em and Floatcraft trinity and the early ones without reinforcing Webs.
Collecting is a funny thing. There's no accounting for what people take to collecting and for their own reasons. My small collection is trifling compare to some but the pleasure is still great . :Happy:

A lovely trio, I am pleased that you have got what you were after! If you are going to Redditch, I will bring my early flickem perfection for comparison!

I'm really pleased and as I've found with TFF it's nice to have like minded people to share things like this with.

A very lovely holy trinity, after the Speedia this type of reel is most likely to be selected from the reel cupboard, particularly if it's a windy day. 👍🏻
