I think a Condex would look better.IMHO.

Just had a look at a Condex on ebay. Looks like a nice reel so quite interested in one.
Are they left hand wind ?

Simple click-check mechanism so very simple to change over ,Just turn over the litte diamond shaped spring tensioner.

Thanks Jim
This is the reel I'm looking at do you reckon the age would be about right (late 60's early 70's)
eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
Also would an intrepid be changeable from right to LHW the same way?
Thanks
Dick

That is a slightly later condex(holes on faceplate) and it does not tell you what size it is,you are looking for a 3'' reel or a 3.5'' at a pinch.The rimfly is turned R+L handed the same way.

That condex looks good ,Just found my rimflys and they are the Kingsize not the regular .
thats a fair price too for the condex .
Good bits of kit I use a big one for my salmon shootting heads and have no problems ,

Pity that looks in quite good condition.
Looks like I'm after either a Condex or a Rimfly now !
Cheers
