why do i keep buying these!!!
i thought this one was special , it is in mint condition , large 4.25" marked westley richards , 8 spoke drum and with a nice twist when u open it











note the position of the check..at first glance you would think it had a rim tensioner but it is actually for disabling the check and putting it to free spooling mode...


this one is nice too , especially as it is large at 4.25" and marked forrest of kelso

Very nice.
There a little bit big for me like.

Great and your on this side of the pond well done.

Do you use them at all?

Very nice N, they will only go up in value.
I like the trout size ones but they are getting harder to find.

Its something that you like, so fair play to you and enjoy...i do love the sound they make aswell.

It amazes me how much these have gone up over the years it was not long ago I could have bought a nice one for 70 uk pounds. Now you just don’t see them anymore. Always were quality reels.

Thanks for sharing

Love those caged Dingley's. I have a 3 3/4 which is one of my favourites.

I need a foot for a 4" Dingley Perfect like yours, any ideas? Someone filed the original foot to fit the new rods.

are you sure it has been filed , the feet on the dingley perfects were fairly small anyway , but some were done in a tapered style , its called a torpedo foot and compared to other feet you could be forgiven for thinking it had been filed , if it has been filed i suggest you buy a badly damaged one with a full foot and swap them over , it should fit ok...

IF YOU NEED TO

try Garry Mills at Mill tackle

Thanks, to you both. Bill Archuletta filed the foot for the previous owner. I will keep looking. It's a great fishing reel just as it is but it would be nice to have the correct foot.
