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

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!

Thank you for the comments chaps .
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.

Thanks Richard.
It all came good in the end so no worries .
I think I got lucky finding the Rapidex relatively quickly.

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.
