Hi,

A fellow member on the board is interested in my 4-1/4 Perfect from the 1950's listed in

http://www.speypages.com/speyclave/showthread.php?t=65844&highlight=perfect+lhw

He asked me if a spool of the current production Perfect would fit this reel, but I have no idea if it does. Does anyone on the board know? I would much appreciate any input from knowledgeable members here.

Best fishes and Happy New Year!

I must confess no experience of the current Perfects but I would be amazed if their spools would fit the vintage range, given that there was no CNC equipment used back then. I would be delighted to be proved wrong though!

Whilst talking of Perfects, I need to source a new foot for an old 4". I wonder if one could keep the old dovetail and 'bolt on' a new foot to it?

TL and a Happy New Year to you all,
Richard

No it defiantly will not fit.
