Review your purchase and service from Les Shaw at Classic Vintage Fishing Tackle
Totally pleased with my Cardinal 4 spool
I was having trouble finding a replacement for my vintage Cardinal 4 reel.Found the web site and I am glad I did. Confirmed prior to ordering from Canada regarding the part. Received in four days and it fits perfectly. Could not find it anywhere else. Saved my reel and saved the reel for future great fishing days. Thanks to Les.

Les, is een zeer vriendelijke behulpzame man. Bestelling vlot geleverd. Het is ook de moeite waard om hem te bezoeken op de vintage beurs in Vught.
Brand new,unused Abu Abu 501 / 506M Spool
I am the proud owner of both the 501 and 506M, so to find this spool in pristine condition on Les’ site was a dream come true. Excellent service, communication and fast delivery. First class site and owner. Highly recommend. A++++++++++
Abu Cardinal 44 Reel
I am so thrilled I bought this reel.
The reel is in incredible condition externally, and with Martin Stone having worked his magic on the internal side of things, it runs like a smooth dream.
The engineering of these Swedish built reels is second to none, and having been worked on a serviced, it’s going to be good for another 50 years or so, and beyond. This is the smoothest reel I’ve ever used, bar none, and that includes the most modern top of the range reels too. Many thanks.
Abu 506 parts
I don’t leave reviews often, as I think most companies should be giving a certain level of service anyway.
With Les, from the point of first contact to follow up after delivery, I have been treated like a VIP.
Nothing is too much trouble, and the parts are of top quality.
Delivery is unbelievably quick, and items are well packaged against damage.
I received my items on Tuesday morning, after a couple of emails on Saturday and Sunday, once I was sure of the parts required.
Not many sellers or companies take the time to do that.
Les, obviously knows his stuff, and I will have no hesitation in recommending him to friends and family.
I will be using his services again in the future, I have no doubt in that.
Spot on service from a spot on guy.
Very highly recomended.
Top notch quality
Placed an order a few days ago for a Abu 50 vintage landing net plus Abu spinners from Les Shaw it arrived next day superbly packed and the quality of the item was outstanding just like everything that Les sells its top notch quality I have placed quite a few orders with Les over the years and he sells nothing but the best quality tackle backed up with a superb service I rate him 5 star every Time
Fantastic service
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

Cracking
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……
Reels will probably outlast me
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.
