All components and accessories as well as the new standard jaw are now manufactured in house.
The arrival of this new state of the art machine in April 2006 has kept me on my toes and seriously impinged on my weekend fishing. But it has been well worth the effort. All components are now manufactured in my home workshop. This has enabled me to do a lot more R&D resulting in the new accessories and improvements.
