Where the handles used to be....I filled the holes with a two type putty which hardened.

Also,the centre-piece under the flat screw there is a rollerbearing...there used to be a concave brass plate

so that saltwater would not enter.

All I want to know if it is in Durban or somewhere else......THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Dimitri

Sorry mate can't help therr, was just a pic i pulled off google images!
If you can find it you may be able ro find the website and trace it,
You better clarify what a rock cod is as here it is a tiny pest fish that steal your bait! Haha!
Was that reel a Keith Palmer? He made some of the best balanced scarboroughs i have ever used.

Good luck, would be great to find it!
