You can get through them all in about 20 minutes and then it will take you 5 minutes every day to keep up with what's newly listed watch and snipe with lowball bids. Cameron bought a 2-1/2" Black Knight for $26 shipped. allcocks milward ogden smiths, alex martin, richardson (US), Mills (US), carter - the list is still abridged and not just London, Redditch and Newcastle - there's a long list of Scots and Irish merchant marks on these reels Last Edited By: bulldog1935 02/22/08 21:58:30.

The 2-3/4" reel will hold a WF5 or a Teeny with more backing. The capacity of a 3" reel is pretty large - won't hold a DT, but will hold any WF. Weight on any of these is going to be pretty close, but the 3" will be noticeably heavier than the others. But, I would say any in this size would work.

If I do use some backing on one, it will probably be some of that tip up line you showed for backing awhile back. Andy

I bought from Old Yankee Rodsmiths Last Edited By: bulldog1935 02/26/08 22:41:24. Edited 1 times.
