Gary Mills Barbel Pin

Julian Griffiths

Senior Member & Supporter
I'm having to start a little fishing tackle clear out.... Those that know me! 🤣

I'm considering selling this centrepin I had made for me by Gary Mills, a couple of seasons back now.

The design is based around one of his limited run of Barbel pins, but he couldn't make the exact reel that I wanted, as it would affect the limited run he'd done for the Barbel Catchers Club. So he built this for me instead!

I've never used it unfortunately, as I no longer fish for Barbel, but I'm willing to sell it, to fund another venture.

Seems a shame I've not used it for its intended purpose.

The reels finish isn't anodised, and has taken on that lovely darkened antique look to it, which I personally love.

Also please note, on the back plate around the centre of the screw area, it looks like some over spray has dried on the surface of the reel from the factory, not something I've done!

I'm open to offers from £500, plus whatever the recorded signed for postage costs would incur, as I sold Gary some other reels, to fund this particular build!😊

No reel pouch included. But you can purchase them from Gary himself I believe!

I'd like to receive the eventual money via PayPal please if that's OK, as I'd rather not have cash!

Collection welcome, I can arrange to meet around the Henley-on-Thames area, as I pass through that area daily.

If anyone's interested do feel free to pm me. I will pick up notifications eventually!

Thanks everyone! šŸ‘šŸ˜Š

Julian

Could I ask what size is it please
Hi Robert, looks like 4" to me, his writing is awful, I've just done a fresh batch of photos of it just now, it's darkened down now than when it was new, so this is a more accurate representation as of now. šŸ‘
