Another None Aerial KK variation.

These two centrepins are my favourite KK reels and are wonderful Carp or Barbel reels.
4.1/2" Dia x 15/16" between plates. Very close tolerances and lots of hand cut parts so more function over beauty on the inside but absolutely wonderful to use. This was my favourite night fishing carp reel for many years.
The reel with the lineguard had the check lever and cam missing when I bought it. Just for speed and simplicity I used bits from a Youngs reels and made the lineguard. I do intend to make and fit copies of the original parts one of these days. Mind you I have been saying this since I bought it over 30 years ago from its original owner along with a Speedia, which I still use too.
I did sell another one of these reels a few years ago but I haven't seen another one since then.
