Another reel I have managed to grab for a bargain price. I plan to pair it up with my Hardy County.

There’s one in my local antiques emporium… I’m tempted but these days I mostly use a centrepin for virtually all of my angling…

Yes I do too but this one will be used with my Hardy spinning rods. Now that I amused to using a centre pin I much prefer them to fixed spool reels.

Superb. Love these reels

Thank you

I'd like to get my hands on one of these one day, hopefully in similar condition to yours Caneforme, very nice indeed.

Thank you sir

Evening All, The Exalta is an interesting reel. I spent some interesting sessions after carp last season using my somewhat battered one (a proper 'user') loaded with 10lb and a variety of MkIV's. Good to use, but not, in my humble opinion, quite up to Altex standard - particularly the lack of subtlety in the spool tension adjustment - it's sort of 'all or nothing'. However, I would imagine it was cheaper to produce than the beautiful, idiosyncratic Altex. Anyway, enjoy! Regards Cat
