I found the clip regarding the Akios overhead reel and sent it on to ABU Man in a PM. I was right, ABU made the designer redundant so he set up his own workshop and this has proven to be very popular in the UK.

Gary, I bought two of the Akios Scora 100 reels and thereby secured a special deal. I don't think it would be ethical for me to say what I paid on this site.

A slight change of subject, I can add something I discovered only today. I found a sports shop with the very latest Veritas rods, low rider guides, retailing at $199.00. I have to admit that is a very good price.
