Now that is MUCH better! :Thumb:

..not that there is anything duff with the first complete one, but this one has that “traditional angler appeal” and you have the overall proportions just right and is a reel that I would happily fish with.
I’m guessing 3 1/2” diameter?

Well done! :Hat:

Beautiful.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Ohh, that one is rather special..
Very nice indeed!
The talent from our TFF members never ceases to amaze me.

The close season is an important and interesting time for the Angler who set out to catch big fish. It is a timely opportunity for him to make new tackle or renovate old. There are no end of jobs to do, apart from those horrible things called Gardens!
