The first one says Circa 1880 ... Does that help anyone!

Hi,I have a friend of mine who has just picked up some old fishing reels. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about them.Both are made of wood and look like an alvey. The first is a little bigger and has the name 'Bartleets' and 'Made In England" stamped into the metal.The second has no markings on it at all!http://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu265/penthrox/DSC00350.jpghttp://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu265/penthrox/DSC00351.jpghttp://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu265/penthrox/DSC00352.jpgThanks guys for any info!

Does anyone know where to get one of these bags!The purefishing website has them on sale so I was wondering if that translates to any local stores?Thanks

I own the 1000 size reel and 7'2 1 piece 1-3 kg rod.It is my preferred bream set up and I have had mine close to 2 years I would say.Balance perfectly, same gears as stella (if im not mistaken) though discontinued now.If you can get one on the cheap go for it.

Myself and my missus both have hornes waders and have never had a problem! Get the owner or his daughter to fit you and perfect Never had a problem with mine. We both have blundstones on the waders though not the pimple soles

Dont know of any raking sites south know of plenty north within 90 mins of adelaide I know of some popular ones and not so popular ones

You could try Noarlunga Jetty in about a months or so time Same with Second Valley Jetty and Rapid Bay.North any of the jetties; Grange, Semaphore etc in about 2 weeks or so should be ideal :)Further north any Yorkes Jetty will produce during summer :)Hope this helps. Raking is a different story

Where are you now? You want jetty or raking, local or further out!Give me some more information!

There for 10 days

Hey thanks for the swift replies :DMark we are staying at the Palazzo Colonnades which acording to the map is like 30 seconds from Paradise Island

I assume end or sides doesnt matter? as long as it is towards the end right?

Hi,Just wondering what people use for a rig at Wallaroo of the jetty with both livies and dead bait?Running sinker, float, paternoster etc???Thanks for any help

Personally I wanted to state that the advice given for seems terrific. I mean that as people who own the rods/reels that have had no problems and the people who don't own them and are trying to educate weedie on in their opinions better gear. When you have people who do this for a job telling you to stay away it really should fathom some sort of decision. Honestly it seems asthough the one comment stirred up a hornets nest and I can understand why but we are all adults (well for the most part) and it needs to be left too factual evidence now and not bickering back and forward. I have never use

Although i normally am reserved i got involved in this "discussion" because of the same reason. If you check one of my posts it actually offers help and advice direct to weedie. I never personally attacked anyone and with sh comments it can be portrayed many ways. That is one of the biggest problems with type is that you cant understand how it is portrayed if it was spoken. Sarcasm and joking around you get in someones voice doesnt convert to type. Noone wanted SH to go but that was his decision. Just because people dont agree with you is no reason to leave.Anyway back to weedie. Mate if it wo

I also support cheaper gear however being called a tackle snob because i like to own good fishing gear isnt the best course of action to take on a site dedicated to fishos of all budgets. I dont call anybody a cheap ass or a dole bludger (nothing insinuated here just making a point) because they buy cheaper gear. If that is the way you want to speak to other fishos then this really is the wrong place for you....

I mention marlin as they are a sports fish and I dont think you are going to find too many people chasing them on jarvis walker reels. You do realise that this isnt a personal attack just a difference of opinion and no way reflects on ability at all.The fact that peop
