I nearly missed the moorhen in that last picture!

I'm not sure they're vintage, John. Pretty sure they're early 21st century!

What model are they Deve? The combination of black steel rimmed spools and single handles makes me think they are 'GT' models, so 30+ years old?

(The moorhen is definitely a new model though. :grin: ).

I've never owned GT Aero Baitrunners.

The reels are 8000 REs - probably bought because of the single handles (or the lower price...). No idea what the spools are from are 'cause I took the graphics labels off them! They could be some I bought as extras.

Same reels as I have. Wouldn't change them for a guaranteed 30. Superb reels. :thumbs:
