The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Evening all......

I've just become the proud owner of a little KP Morritts center pin Intrepid in lovely condition in it's original branded plastic clam shell case, quite chuffed actually

I know nothing about these reels but I intend to use it for close in margin work.

Are they any good ?

Do you mean the metal Intrepid 'Match' ...



... or the plastic Intrepid 'Popular' ?



I much prefer the 'Match' ... thinking that "if Carling made margin Gobio reels ... "

Either way ... delightful little reels ... but with a very small arbour and thus a slow retrieve rate ... and I wouldn't try Wallis casting with one !!!

With ultra light tackle and a rod like the Precision 'R. Sealey's Tudor Rose,' or the Milward's 'Featherlite' (both 10ft 6in versions) they provide endless fun tiddler snatching. Just my opinion, of course.

Hi Mal,

thanks for the response, it's the metal one

I too have the metal one in its little plastic case. I'm selling it for pennies at Romsey..... It's yours if you'd like it Mal.

Iv just picked up one those in very good condition in it clam box , rescued from the tip

What a delightful little reel.

i wonder what price Nobby will ask for this reel as it is of interest to me.

If I can find it ( tidying up the tackle room) you can have it for £3 and £2.85 postage.

Nobby when you find it I will be happy to buy it at the price you suggested.

I'll check and PM you Chris.
