1959 Retail Price: from £3 12s to £5 12s 6d.
(Prices are exclusive of Purchase Tax)

Features include:
  • ​The check-work can be adjusted by our Patent regulator to give a varied strength.
  • Dual sets of check-work are fitted making the reels suitable for Right or Left Hand Wind - either set is instantly engaged or disengaged with the check wheel by simply turning either pawl into or out of position.
  • A revolutionary clip-on guard incorporating left and right hand protection from friction by the line is fitted standard on all models.
  • The front face of the line drum is perforated to facilitate ventilation of the line.
​LUBRICATING, CLEANING & CARE OF YOUR BEAUDEX

  • To dismantle, pull aside the Release Lever at the front and lift Line Drum from the frame.
  • Oil the Spindle, Check Wheel and movable parts of the check mechanism, using good quality thin oil.
  • To replace Line Drum, pull aside Release Lever, to allow it to go easily into position. Do not use force.
  • A little oil at the top and base of the handles adds to the sweet working of the reel
  • The centre screw of the Release Cap is for the adjustment of any end-play that may develop through normal wear. After use remove all traces of moisture and keep your BEAUDEX in a dry place

I have sold lots of these second hand. Apart from a few paint chips, they are always solid inside. I think they were originally made in the fifties and they fare much better than the Hardy or Farlow's Reels of that era. Due to possibly over robust construction.
The weight is designed to balance vintage rods so they are a bit heavy for carbon or graphite. But if you want a nice quality vintage reel you can't go wrong with Condex, Pridex or Beaudex reels.
Unlike Hardy reels they are fully recyclable into the different materials. You could say they are future proofed!
One of the best vintage reels available.
