Moaning,

Rare for me to make a post on here nowadays. Yes that's a perfectly genuine Allcock/Youngs Aerial. Nice example, they do Wallis cast superbly but the line retrieval is limited due to the size. I recently took a 3" Coxon to the Trent and gave it the "beans" :-), which "James" from the forum reckoned I was hitting 40-45yards into a stiff wind with a medium spoon, using a Senior Grebe he’d just made me. But it was a sod to reel in and get enough movement on the spoon to interest anything :-). Small drum limits the use really but they look proper little reels.

If it was mint then it would probably fetch a very high price, but even average ones are high hundreds (in my opinon).

Ta.

Wallis Master

I'm sure it would suit you very well, the spools so light it Wallis Casts a dream. Unfortunately it's going to the grave with me; well that's what I told the missus but I've a sneaky feeling she knows what it's worth.
lucky bugger!

Enjoy it...it's a beauty
