I got the Thermos Ultimate last week and I'm impressed with it. It was £22 to my door with a 10% discount when I signed up to their mailing list and used the discount code THERMOS10. They only have the silver one left. Not exactly what the OP was looking for but thought it was worth the heads...

I’ve read enough! Richard anyone with any intelligence Wouldn’t wade in and strip a reel unless they had a good understanding of how to service one to start with. I posted the link thinking it would be useful to some not to have it dissected by the local reel expert…. I love the internet me!

For anyone wanting to service their own Shimano 3500B this Video is fantastic. Enjoy:

Admitedly it’s not the best but I’ve never found it hinders me Terry.

Reels now sold to Rob W. Thanks for the interest shown.

I've had a few reels in my time. Shimano XTEA's GTE's to name just a few and the 3500B's wipe the floor with all of them when it comes to winching stuff in and I'm not just talking fish. I've bent reels on the Ribble dragging flood debris in but the 3500B's don't miss a beat. Charter boat...

Thanks Guy, Tell your friend he will struggle to find better. I have 3 with 2 having been in use for ten years now and they haven’t let me down. They are still going strong and with a quick rinse and a squirt of WD40 they are as good as new. I was seriously thinking of keeping them for myself...

These need no introduction. My Brother has decided to quit Barbel fishing so has asked me to sell his 3500B's. They are in excellent condition having very light use (one is still tight being barely run in) and come with one box but 2 x instruction and diagram booklets. I would prefer...

I've got 3 and got the two most used ones out to send to Shimano Felindre for a service. I got the boxes down to pack them in and the receipt was in there. I thought I'd had them for about 7 years, turns out its actually 11! They were back from the guys within 2 days and as good as the day i...

DoubleT WrapSac.. Mine is almost at the end of its life after about 9 years so I'm going to have to press my spare one into service next season. Shame you can't get them anymore.

***************Price Reduced*************** I'm selling the following items for a friend who has fallen on hard times:- Shimano Curado CU-200 LHR and ET Gord Burton Bandit Rod. The Reel has had the drag upgraded with Carbontex washers and is loaded with 30lb Power pro Braid. Both are...

Thanks for the help chaps. :)

Nice one Clive. I've been watching one or two and they go for silly money - I was hoping for something more sensible from the Chaps on here. Its not for me, my brother is looking for one but he doesn't have Internet access.

Has anyone got one of the above surplus to requirements that they would like to sell.

:)
