You can get a Leeds 5.5" pin off eBay for about 80 quid, fantastic reel, it's size makes retrieving a doddle, a good bat of the rim can see yards of line back on the spool in the blink of an eye.

Some bargains pop up on here from time to time.

I have one of the TD, supposedly made by Terry Daniels and marketed by Specialist tackle of Romford. I think mine's dated 1991, not sure without looking.

High end centrepins are always going up in value.
Certainly much better than leaving it in the bank always providing buyers are around who want it when the time comes?

In case anyone's looking for one, there's a Grice & Young Seajecta MkIII Deluxe at a bargain buy-it-now price on eBay (not mine!).
