Then chatting with my long time fishing buddy who said he wanted a travel Barbel rod which, by a bizarre coincidence, I said well I happen to have one that I never use and he would be welcome to it ....and then talking reels we always liked, I said I always admired DAM reels which, by coincidence, he then said he happened to have one which he never used and ... "voila" ... no money exchanged hands and we both got what we were looking for. The God's smiled today ..... a DAM 331 S; absolutely superb reel. Late 1960's I think ? It'll sit well on a MKiV kit rod I have just tidied up for the new Season with a quill float against some reeds .....
