Welcome to Classic Vintage Fishing Tackle

Hello, I am Les Shaw. I have been fishing since I was knee high to a Grasshopper and have been collecting vintage & classic fishing tackle for over 30 years. I am a keen Carp angler and enjoy fishing with my son Jamie whenever we get the chance. Some of you will already know me through my EBay Id which is skylark31. I am an honest trader and always treat customers the way that I would like to be treated. I never take anyone’s business for granted!

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.

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++++++++++

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.

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.
