Winfield

[ddave07]

At a raffle at a fair i recently won a winfield dry fly reel.
I have looked on the internet and found nothing on it.
Could anyone give me info on it. It doesnt appear to be used and is in its orginal box

At the risk of sounding stupid, Winfield used to be the Fishing tackle brand of Woolworths in the late 70s early 80s (when it was a proper shopand it wasn't bad gear, I was told it was made for them by a reputable manufacturer I actualy owned 1 of their fly rods. a nice little carbon 7 wieght, and their beach caster made a very nice Bass Fishing rod. I just wondered if it could be 1 of theirs in as new condition
