A Pair Of Old Reels Give A New Lease of life.
I was luck enough to be given a Trudex and A Mitchell Match 440A by . . . .
" The Casterman " last year.
These reels were in desperate need of refurbishment but I have neither the time nor the skill to accomplish this so they were used as they were, well, the Trudex was.
" The Mitchell was in a right state "
A chance viewing of the Trudex on one of my float pictures ignited the interest of a reel refurbisher named . . . . . . .
" Victor Homewood " . . . .
and he kindly offered to refurbish them both in exchange for a float or two. 😉
Here are the reels in their sorry state . . . . . .

And here they are now.

I am more than happy with the results Victor.
I may even be christening the Trudex
on Sunday at L.B.A. on the Irwell with John Derbyshire & his pal Paul.
PS :
Victor has just contacted me and said . . . .
" Look on the inside of the pin Mike "
I have opened it up and seen the lovely little surprise Victor has left.
Its a signed refurbished piece.
Signed in brass by Victor.
Thank you my friend.
As I have said before
" Its the little extra things that make something that bit more special "
This is one of them Victor....its Lovely

Until the next time . . .
