The reels themselves are marked Hewes. In fact, the heavier gauge steel mentioned above is clearly indented with the words Hewes UK. Crushed right into the metal, no mistaking it. They do load like a dream. I used to use some 70 mm ones, and they simply made things possible. Never, ever to be lent out to other so-called people, whose only purpose in life is to bend finely crafted metal ... never, ever to be dropped, either! regards, --le ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
