Nice one Lee.

I especially like the box, Lee! Is that original?

Just little things to love these reels!

A really nice one Lee!
Indeed not designed for it but nevertheless a beauty pair. From the inside shape I would guess it was designed for any of the old aerials. There is a mark visible showing the position of the ratchet knob.
Anyway. Whish I had such a box for my beauty as well!

That's a nice box too :Thumb:
