Wonderful reel! All congratulations!

To me, reel making is the farthest reach in a crafty angler's repertoire. I am in awe of anyone who does it - and this is done beautifully!
So...

Absolutely amazing stuff, what a class act we have in TFF!
Great photographs of a splendid reel.

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!

Engineering is like nuclear physics to me, I know it exists but that's about it. I look forward to seeing it in action at the docks one day.
Thanks for the offer Dave, I’m tempted to accept.
Tell you what, if you can catch a silver bream over 3lbs at the docks, next time we fish there, it’s yours…

WOW Paul, a superb pin indeed and looks just beautiful. I did wonder what you were upto when you mentioned you were a tad busy the back end of last year. Truly stunning in every aspect.
