Fantastic service I have bought a few parts now covering my Cardinals 44 a replacement spool just recently, some bail arm bits for my 77 and a new spool and sticker for my 52 all arrived in good time.
Les is doing a fantastic service in keeping our beloved aging reels in tip top condition thanks from me down here in Australia
I have purchased a Hardy Perfect reel. The reel is better than described. Perfect condition and good price. Fast and safely shipping. Great and honest seller. Thank you Les
What a cracking site!!! Les helped me no end in getting my Cardinal 55's on the right track and in double quick time. Great service, reasonable prices and quick delivery. The one stop shop for classic and vintage reels. Highly recommended......
Received the parts shortly after speaking on the phone. Great that you take the time to source parts for what i consider the best fixed spool reel made, Abu Suveran, and because off that my reels will probably outlast me!!!! Hope to see you at the Redditch show later this year.
Reel received today and I'm very impressed. Condition was never a big issue for me as I wanted a reel to fish with but it has far exceeded my expectations.
I'd recommend your site to anyone & will be watching for other items.
There now the perfect reel ..perfect condition ..and a perfect speedy transaction ...
Thank You Les ..You know I will be round again soon ...
Thank You

Good service. Great seller.
Hello, from York Pennsylvania, USA... Found your excellent collections while searching for Foster Bros Ashbourne as having recently acquired an Airsprite 7ft. fly rod. Also have several other "Made In England" fly rods & reels and have sometimes need of repair & replacement component parts. Presently hunting the round black threaded Butt plugs or bumpers used on Foster Bros., Herter's UK-made St. Alban Grand Deluxe & Hardy fly rods - did not see them on your site but hopefully you may be able to direct me to a source to purchase in small lot or bulk order.
Thoroughly enjoyed looking through your posted collection items and reading your excellent comments.
Best regards, Mike Cavanaugh, York Pennsylvania, USA
Les,
I have been looking for an Abu Cardinal 66 for very many years. Thanks to you my unused, new reel arrived this morning. Incredibly, I was also able to access genuine spare parts that you had in stock. The quality of the reel was exactly as described...superb; and the service you provided was excellent in every way.
I cannot commend your company highly enough and look forward to the pleasure of shopping with you again.
Mark.
Hello Les,
I must say you have a wonderful website. I am an older fisherman, and to see some of these wonderful old reels brings back memories of past fishing trips and past friends. Thank you for a much needed trip down memory lane.

Hi Les, thank you for my quick delivery of your brilliant Abu Cardinal 54 replacement aluminium spools. These spools really are a godsend to anybody trying to keep these reels alive (no more exploding plastic spools). My only disappointment is that I did not find your website sooner. I would recommend you to anyone for your very quick, efficient and friendly service.
Many thanks Paul
