RAPIDEX
The RAPIDEX for Coarse Fishing. Designed to meet every requirement and very much favoured by experts. Check-work, bearings, safe grip handle, easy to dismantle for cleaning, and other details, have received special attention.
Features include:
- Exceptionally free running line drum, with bearings of the pivotal centre-pin type.
- Fitted with a regulator by which the line drum can be controlled.
- Built in a contracted form with large diameter line drum, providing rapid recovery of line.
- The complete diameter of the front flange of the line drum is accessible for manual control and the frame is so designed to give a perfect guard to the line at any position the line may leave the reel.
- The clearance between the back flange of the line drum and the frame is extremely fine, thus avoiding the finest of Nylon lines fouling the mechanism.
