From what I have seen on you tube hundreds none of which do I think I will ever be able to do. :D

You're not alone - they all presuppose a certain level of co-ordination and focus. Sadly I don't seem to possess enough of either.:eek:mg::D

Can I have a guess?? That lovely silver coloured American job? Name escapes me.

They're not American John, they're (Zeppelin reel) made over here by Kingpin. It can't be the Kingpin as they have no drags, they do have a ratchet as stiff as a rusted on bolt!
Chris might have been doing some undercover shopping :D.

I'm not quite sure what you might mean. However, I don't knowingly own any rod or reel that's American made or from an American brand.

Edit. I guess you are thinking of the Kingpin Zeppelin. It wasn't that as it has no drag. It's also not American. They're made in Poole, Dorset.

North America is their main market. It often appears that they are rather indifferent to selling their wares in the UK.
