The most precious places in the English landscape are those secretive corners,
where you find only elder trees, nettles and dreams. (BB - Denys Watkins-Pitchford).
It certainly is ... I have 3 of them. Thanks Luca.

My first fixed spool reel.
I still have one and the sound of the bail arm closing takes me straight back to boyhood. :D

My first reel as well. I remember having to position the bale arm to get just enough momentum to knock it over when it went past the stem. I was forever getting the line caught behind the spool. £2.45 mine cost. Bought Saturday March 8, 1975 at Gallions Cambridge. Not sure if I've still got it. I never really got on with it and was much relieved when my dad bought me a small Mitchell.
