I seen boxed Suverans going for almost £500 each of late! They are widely recognised as the best made Reel ever. I was expecting to have to change some bearings or shims, must be worn somewhere, stripped them and did not find a single issue anywhere. When you consider they had been being used for spinning for Bass for possibly 40 years usage, that's pretty amazing, there's not even any cosmetic damage to the paint.

You must be itching to load them with line and use them Stuart - I know I would be!

Pro logic crustacean ground bait and the mussel meat were really good bait
Nash solubles(out way before outlaw baits bought them out)
Nash liquid and powders (can't think for life of me what they are called now)
Nash solubles but they looked like polo sweets where you threaded them down the line to you hook link they'd then dissolve around and also leave your hook link straight and not tangled

The Nash polos were called chain reaction.

There are some things I remember fondly on these lists, but in all honesty there is nothing listed here, or that I can think of that I can't find a suitable alternative for now.

The only one may be the Peperami Cheezie of all things!

That's the one and I'm sure the liquid and powder combo was called magma

Powerplus bivvies. I have this professional model which is now 30 years old and still in perfect condition. Can you imagine what kind of quality these fellas would be turning out now had they continued in the business?

Frank Warwick / Dynamite Squid and Octopus pop ups

I know a bloke who caught over 30 fish in a season on those from a deep and very, very tricky water, don't get me wrong he put some time in but they certainly worked for him

Outer wrap is like a heavy waxed canvass with a rubberised backing. It then has an inner cotton dome which has a built in ground sheet. It was years ahead of it's time in the early 90's. Weighs a ton lugging it about, and the pegs are those spindle camping type.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
