Two Fathom 15s magged by Phil Stares (at goats), can’t be bad for £140?
A little worn but I call that character, they run very smoothly…

yep, it's the inside that matters. And matching shiny pairs are for homosexuals

lovely reels, in nr perfect fished with and used patina
they are tools, noting more n nothing less

lets be honest, who the fuck polishes their fkin tools at the end of a shift??
bit of rain, and they are as good as new
dont let the once a year danglers tell ya any different fishy

you know the ones, the ones that have to wash their rods down n polish their reels and terminal tackle befor their partners will even consider letting em keep in in the house pmsl

Mate looks like someones been holding onto the lead and casting the reels out..... but still a bargain.
Take the spool and bearings out put them to one side and lob some heavy oil in them through all the holes. When you do this make sure the drags done up tight.
Make sure you lube the screws and holes up.
Then lube the bearings etc and put it back together stand it on the handle side and let any over oiling to weep out the little hole.

Or just chuck them away and get some proper ones..

Be a bit of a long job for me - my concrete mixer is in France! Could try the washing machine I guess?
