Arrow **SKB Reels - Final Few Reels left, Deals on Spools**

Hello All,


This is a consolidation of my remaining reels before the next batch come in. Instead of a few different threads, I thought it easier to put them under one thread.




Next up are some of those lovely SKB two-tone double-anodized reels

The reel is made of 6061 grade aluminum billet stock, needle bearings on a chrome alloy spindle for smooth handling. Strong and smooth drag with a wide range of settings.

All £54

Spare4/6 and 7/8 spools available but in short supply....both fit the same reel


We have but 2x Blue 4/6 reels left with a couple of 7/8 compatible spools

PM me for deals on combined purchases

Here is the same reel with the 7/8 spool installed

The Overdrive Reel

ALL SOLD OUT ONLY 3 OF THE BLACK SPOOLS LEFT

KNOCK DOWN PRICE OF £30 each posted (Were £35)

In Black.......

SKB V-Lite Reels


This reel is machine cut from the grade 6061 aluminium billet stock and has needle bearings on a chrome alloy spindle for remarkably smooth handling.
The large arbour means that you will have less line memory and fast retrieval.
Acork/delrin disc drag provides fine drag control.


Only the 7/8 size remaining but equally fine for #6 lines

7/8 size
WF8 + 100m
149g

£50
£25 spare spool (5 only in stock)

Finally, the Cartridge Reels made from top-grade aluminum with a massively cut out back plate to reduce weight but still retaining rigidity and strength.

These have close tolerances and the spool are tight at first use - when you get the spool off for the first time, rub some vaseline or grease onto the spindle - this makes it easier for taking the spool off later!

The reel has a sensitive disk drag system.

These come supplied with 2 extra spools in a roomy zip-up bag.

A bargain at £47 with extra spools at a silly price of £3

These are brilliant reels and very light - I will be changing over to these

And that's all folks



Thank you

Hi Ben,

I was just wondering if you knew when you would be getting in more of the green and gold anodised reels?! Just trying to make up my mind over a blue one or a green one!!

Cheers, Jon

Jon, the Green and Gold are like rocking horse droppings - indeed, some cad actually had my own out of my very hands two weeks ago

Blue in stock now, may have a few G&G in December

I've got a gold and green that I will be willing to sell for £120

But in all seriousness the g&g is a cracking reel (and of course rare), I feel privelaged to own one. You will need to keep your eyes peeled cause as soon as Ben posts that he has some they will be gone straight away so you will have to be lightening fast

Absolutely!

I always have spools for my main models.


The Overdrives, the two-tones and the V-Lites, I have spools for all.

Hi Ben, received my reel this morning and I am delighted with it. It sure is quality for the price and can't wait to try it out on the big Clyde Grayling (or trout if they oblige)

Many thanks for an excellent service and reel, and im sure the big mainstream stockist of reels will love you - NOT

Regards
