Re: Adcock Stanton
That's one of the last ones Cliff made. They were only anodised with the plastic moulded shoe in latter years.
Several different versions available. with/without ratchet, with/without handles, with/without drag and different sizes.
We struggled to sell the anodised ones. Just checked back through one of the catalogues I wrote. The Black anodising option was released in 1995.

Re: Adcock Stanton
That's what I meant by the with/without drag.

Re: Adcock Stanton
Sorry Shaun - just very strangely placed unlike a normal drag.

Re: Adcock Stanton
Never sold many of those either. The most popular was the 5" with drag, with handles.
Re: Adcock Stanton
I, ve had mine since 1964--- £2-14-0. A fair bit to an apprentice on £5 a week. Great purchase tho.
won a few matches with it on the Trent and Witham.
Dont use it so much these days but would never let it go.
Only a personal thing but the "new" models really lost some of its appeal to me with the Delta name plate on the backplate, far better some nice simple engraving.

Re: Adcock Stanton
If you study that picture you can see a shield with a little fish above it, on the left of shot
as you look at it. Never seen that before, or am I dreaming?

Re: Adcock Stanton
NiceRoach, I will get this one out again, and see if I can get a clearer photo of the engraving. Which consists of a shield, with a fish above, and the words:-
ADCOCK "STANTON"
CENTRE PIN
NOTTINGHAM
EST. 1984
Sorry not a good photo, might try again tomorrow.

Re: Adcock Stanton
I live in Beeston, Notts and bought a Stanton from Cliff at his house in Beeston Rylands in the late 90s. Fantastic reel; I've caught all sorts with it and have never had any trouble with it at all. When Cliff sold the Stanton franchise on, he was presented with with a personalised new model from the new owner company. I remember him telling me he thought the new ones were heavy and he gave me a look that suggested his presentation reel would be more of a display item rather than in regular use.
