REEL RESTORATION AND REPAIR

Total Reel Restoration and Repair

All types of reels repaired, vintage or modern, fixed spool, closed face or centerpin. I specialise in Hardy, Mitchell, Abu, Intrepid, Allcocks, Milwards and J.W.Youngs. I also refurbish and service reels which will bring the old reel back to how it used to look. I make hard to find parts which are now no longer available anywhere to the exact specifications of the old part, i.e spindles for any centerpin old or new.

Restoration of a 1960's Allcocks Match Aerial

An old 1960's Allcocks Match Aerial. Well used, the reel was in poor shape, it had bent spokes and a broken release catch spring, a worn/bent centrepin, corrosion and 40% paint loss. The reel is now finished and is in as new condition with a new centrepin, new spring, straight spokes, full paintjob etc, the reel now spins like a top and is perfect for either a display cabinet or better still, trotting down on the river!

Restoration of a J.W.Youngs Trudex Centrepin

This was another reel heading for the scrap heap, but with a little tlc it has been bought back to life. Missing handle, small spring/lever/retaining cap, missing line guard and poor paintwork. The reel was in very poor condition overall. But not unsalvageable.

The sorry looking Trudex.

Back to life and fully restored. Ready for the riverbank!
