Sealey floatking

[Richard Jackson]

Hi Gents, i am wondering if any of you own a edgar sealey floatking centrepin and if so , are they any good and what sort of price should i pay for one
Thanks in advance

[Keston]

Hi Richard
I do have one, essentially they are the same as a Trudex but look cosmetically different. So yes very good reels .
From what I have seen they do tend to fetch a bit more due to being fewer in number . They don't come up for sale that often .

The Float King is a rebadged Trudex and the Float Queen is a rebadged Rapidex. Hope I've got them the right way round! Expect to pay a similar price to the Youngs models, say £40 to £60 on EBay and maybe a bit more from a dealer.

Crossed with Keston!

Thankyou gentlemen , i have seen one for sale and it caught my eye

Hi Richard, as previously mentioned both reels are Youngs rebadged, both great but with a design fault on the Sealey Floatking/Queen models. The handles and centre spool release cover are made from white hard plastic and in particular the centre spool release cover is prone to cracking. If you find one with a black cover it is a replacement. Garry Mills does quite a good version but even that is very noticeable as a copy. The original is very white. Personally I think the Sealey Floatking/Queen are really attractive reels with this variation. So if you are buying just check collar and cuffs match.

Thankyou Fredline, this is the reel i have seen

[Fredline]

As you can see Richard "collar and cuffs" do not match.This is one that I have just recently sold and if you enlarge the picture you can see the crack on the centre cover.

Mill tackle sell a white centre boss replacement , I dont think it's identical to the original but it's close. I believe they are about £6

[Richard Jackson]

Yes i see that , just above the bottom screw
