I think that you'll find that Tasciovanus, being Italian, used a pole. The earliest centrepin was unearthed by a metal detecting enthusiast on the banks of the River Wye. The frame was probably made during the reign of Baldwinus Coxinus (35 - 36AD). Unfortunately it is not original. The spool is from a later period and probably made in the early Aerialitis period. The finished article would appear to have the hallmarks of the blind cobbler Al Cocks and is now displayed in the museum of Bodger Lennon.

Wonderful bit of spot-on historical research there

Howard. I have no idea how you manage to catch fish with only one reel handle?

Must be a very old picture.

The blind cobbler Al Cocks operated in Redditch between 1614 and 1655 by which time he had run out of fingers. In those 41 minutes he was responsible for perfecting the Aerialite type of reel so much worshipped by modern day traditionalists yet publically scorned by the pre-Aerialitists lead by Bodger Lennon, a man famous for his assertion that wood and brass are the only materials worthy of the pursuit of Barbus barbus.

Recently the ultramodernist Shimanists have gained ground with several sub-factions; 5000ists, 8000ists and the ultra-lightweight zealots known as the 3500ists have gained ground and caused splits in the Aerialites resulting in one unscrupulous rival supported by the recently disgraced angler known only as BJ slipping roller bearings into their products. The afformentioned Mr. James has ben quoted in the Anglers Mail as saying: "Yes, there are bearings. But it has all been a terrible misunderstanding."

And that predates the 1195AD depiction of Lapsang Souchong's early reel and the later reel of Darjeeling (circa 1208AD) (c/o WickerReelia )

You will find the Lapsang Souchong reel is an inferior copy of the Baldwinus Coxonus that originated in China during the early part of the Ali Baba period (950AD to present day)
