Looks like a nice reel. I've just bought an 'intrepid' boxed with spare spool. I like Morritts, good looks and affordable. I'm sure that even if your BP splits in two as suggested earlier you'll have had your monies worth.

Regards

I had a fiddle with the reel today and when the anti-reverse is turned on and you turn the handle it is the loudest thing in the entire world of angling! Is this normal?

Pish and Tush, Young Sir ... Everything about the finely engineered K P Morritt's reels is 'normal' ... just as I am normal !!!

Horse Shoe tackle shop , that takes me back , remember all those jam jars full of hand made floats .Regards . Woolly Bear .

When it has its day on the bank, and it will soon, the anti-reverse will be off. Otherwise I'll be accused of disturbing the peace!

Maggotdrowner Sir , you could always take it to a football match and use it as a rattle Regards . Woolly Bear .

It sounds very much like a football rattle!!

Just don't drop it W B

Perfect for an omelette.

Yes, Horseshoe Tackle was the shop I used as a kid Woolly and all those floats Steve used to make. He works around the corner now for Steve Parton (Sparton) doing game angling gear. Well, at least he was when I last went in.

Alas, I think Wednesday was the last day of trading for Sparton (Long Eaton).
