custom made line guard

Post by JimCrosskey »

Hi there

this is my first post on the forum, so please be gentle!

Does anyone here know of any company that i could approach about making a line guard for a pin that does not have one fitted as standard?

(I am currently awaiting a reply from Mill Tackle).

Any replies most welcome, thanks in advance.
cheers
Jim

I think Garry at Mill Tackle is your best option Jim but someone here may know of someone else.

And welcome to the forum Jim.

I can thoroughly recommend Garry. He made a brass line guard for my Trudex. Very reasonable price too

Waiting to hear back from Mill Tackle?? You didn't e-mail him did you? He is better contacted on the 'phone... trust me!

Nobby, i did email him yes! And i've been advised elsewhere now that this wasn't the best idea so will be putting a call in to him shortly...
