So doesn’t matter really if it’s not up to scratch, be nice just to hold it. Iv got hold of some porcupine quill floats..... just need to find out what solid fibreglass rod we were using at the time. 🤔 bluelabel and crusian 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A mate has picked up plenty for Mitchell reels, and he restores them from spares he has purchased. He recently renovated one of mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
