This Reel Had A Twig Rod | The Morritt Fishing Reel (Restoration)

The Morritt Fishing Reel (Restoration)
Ken Morritt began manufacturing fly reels and fixed spool spinning reels at the St. Albans Works on St. Albans Road in Cheam in Surrey shortly after World War Two. Although not highly regarded by collectors, Morritt's "Intrepid" reels were often the first reels used by many of today's anglers, and a great number are still in everyday use. Some of these reels sported significant innovations, not least of which was their method of production. Rather than being machined, Morritt's reels were die-cast, using much the same methods as those for the manufacture toy cars.

Can’t fish much any more these days, but I love a fishing themed restoration. You did a great job with that reel mate. Thoroughly enjoyed your video.

[@restorationvideos]

Very nice work. I wish I had the patience to do that with an old reel I have.

Thanks 👍

El diseño es del siglo XXII, es reduccionista y funcional. Yo lo pintaría de naranja tostado perlado. Para que los peces mueran de envidia.

Great effort 👏👏👏

Thanks a lot 👍😊

Man, now you have to test it on the bank! 🎣

That's the plan!👍

Love the color choice, same as my beloved 1968 BMW 1600-2!

It was picked by all of my subscribers in a vote. I’ll be doing more in the future.I hope I earned you subscription.👍

[@dukez159]

I had an identical one when I was a kid, must've greased it 50 times - I was more interested in disassembling and reassembling the reel than catching fish with it.

[@restorationvideos]

I definitely enjoyed taking it apart 👍😊

[@jackgoodner6789]

Excellent job, but I'm curious why you reused the old grease?

[@restorationvideos]

I know right. Don’t know what I was thinking.i didn’t have a lot of tools and supplies at the time and didn’t want to infest into it. I have since changed it. Hopefully you subscribed I will be releasing a lot of cool vids soon.

[@FriedRicePlease]

@@restorationvideosThis video is almost 2 years old. its been over a month since this reply and there are no videos. When is this "soon" gonna happen?

[@restorationvideos]

1st of December there will be a new video then on the 24,25,26 and then 1 a month there after. I was trying to get my videos made a year infront so I don't have to rush all the good antiques I want to restore with time.

[@ShellcackerFisherman]

You are a cocky fella, I hope he made you understand that restorations take time

[@FriedRicePlease]

@@ShellcackerFisherman lol? was just asking for an update considering the information we had was out of date and there was no information on future updates.

[@warpedweirdo]

Why did you reuse that ancient grease? I can see maybe using super-thick grease on the gears to make the reel feel smoother, but the cross-wind system? Reel came out nice! Good video.

[@restorationvideos]

I have changed it since you sent this message I was wondering why it didn’t move smoothly 😊👍👍

[@mgb...]

Good effort in restoring but when you tried to spin it yikes 😬🤣🤣

[@restorationvideos]

Yeah real tough.😉I use the wrong grease inside.much better since I changed it learning as I go. Thanks for the comment 👍👍

[@vanja.lovretic]

great choice of colours, but i do not think that that paint will last as long as original. only if reel will be only for display purpouse. good work!

[@restorationvideos]

Yeah I Should of used hammerite that’s what they originally painted it with. 👍 thanks for the comment 😊👍

[@hillbillyswamprt]

it's ironic how simplistic these reels were yet they were used to pull in some of the best fish on the planet. But now it seems you need an engineering degree fix these new models.

[@mariano500]

why do you use old grease?

[@restorationvideos]

Because I’m a fool 😊 I have changed it since

I would not wast my time on that cheep pease off junk 😂😂😂 would cost more then the reel is worth

[@warpedweirdo]

Grammar, spelling, and punctuation that bad within an insulting comment leaves a negative impression of the worth of your opinion. While you don't value this type of reel enough to do a restoration on one, the same clearly can't be said of other people. Rather than trashing other people's values outright, maybe you should seek to fully understand before rendering an opinion. I find such discussion to often be enlightening and productive. YMMV because, you know... value is subjective. With that in mind, please clarify a few things for me: 1) What factors lead you to conclude the reel is a piece of junk? 2) How much did the reel cost when new? What years was the reel in production? 3) What is the market value of these reels now? 4) How much money in parts, paint, consumables, and wear on tools do you estimate was put into restoring this reel? 5) What is your spare time worth to you, in dollars per hour? 6) How many hours do you think were required to restore this reel? 7) What kind of reel, if any, would you personally consider worthy of the time, effort, and expense put into restoring the reel in this video?
