Post by NiceRoach »

Noticing a trend here where the last of the paint has been removed, to make it trendy and boost prices and have Ambidex 'Terminators'

Sorry fellas, I'm going to say it. I'm not a fan of these stripped down reels at all. All a bit bling, characterless and not traditional at all to me. Give me a beat up old Felton and a battle scarred Amdidex or Mitchell any day.

Actually...I think this one is genuine. There's enough old paint present to suggest it's just had a hard life with a sweaty angler.

There's an eBay seller from Donegal doing the 'terminator' job on Ambidex's, be cheaper getting a 'wreck' and doing it yourself * if it's your cup of earl grey* of course - not sure myself yet either

Would agree with that Nobby. My point was aimed at a few garish jobbies being punted out from the emerald isle of late. Fish scarers, that's what they are. :Sarcasm:
