Did somone mention J.W. Young reels?? There one of my favorites, especially the Beaudex, Pridex, and Condex series. If I used Youngs and Hardys/Hardy clones, I wouldn't need any other reel! Wayneb

I have a small collection of them from 2" upwards to 4". The 3" bronze Arial is beautiful to look at and even more beautiful to fish with.

I doubt there is much of a market for it. I wish I could buy those reels separately, but it doesn't appear that way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
