Purchased a 4" by 1" 9.9 ounce reel recently. Looks like a Farlows Grenaby which was made for salmon and seatrout in 4" narrow (like mine) and 4" wide but there's no Farlows Holdfast logo. It also reminds me of a Farlows President or BWP except there's no sliding drag on the back. Anyone else have unmarked Farlows reels? Am planning to spool it with a 7 weight to fish with my Sharpes 10' spliced bamboo fly rod.

Pretty sure all those reels were made by Youngs.

I think this is correct.
JW Young made reels for a whole lot of others.

“Bulldog “ on the other forums knows Youngs. I can provide contact for you Dave.
