Fred Bell used to sell "clothes props" (a cut sapling used to hold up your clothes line) around the streets of Sydney for 5 shillings each during the depression. He would walk the streets yelling out his wares and carrying the poles on his left shoulder.WOT not the same guy, its gotta be!!!Tony

Looks dodgy to me - a quick search on google only shows this stuff for sale on a few internet sites. Probably best to leave well alone.

Thanks for the advice. Was just wondering.

This is the only place I could find any info on the 'parent company' BellCarroll P/L: http://graemebell.en.ec21.com/company_info.html

Doesn't exactly inspire confidence...

I have the exact same reel above, haven't used it yet but it doesn't look to be too good but for 30bucks I really don't care.

I found there is a site. http://bellcarroll.com.au/main/page_home_page.html You'll find a lot of these products on online shopping sites.

It's in the "You get what you pay for" catagory....It proberbly works a treat for about 6months......Good for a starter reel for someone wanting to get into fishing I imagine.......Whitto
