Richard Carter was a highly respected British reel maker, known for producing handcrafted centrepin reels of exceptional quality. Working in England in the latter part of the 20th century, Carter combined precision engineering with elegant design, creating reels prized by both collectors and practical anglers. His reels are renowned for smooth, reliable operation, timeless aesthetics, and meticulous attention to detail.

This 3⅜″ “Roach Aerial” alloy centrepin reel exemplifies Carter’s skill. It features a ribbed brass foot, twin handles, six spokes, twelve line lays, and a ventilated front flange, with a rear-mounted on/off check button for smooth, controlled drifts. Set up for left-hand wind retrieve, it performs beautifully on rivers, streams, and stillwaters, while retaining the collectible charm that makes Carter reels highly sought after.

Supplied with its original Richard Carter box, this reel combines ready-to-fish functionality with classic British craftsmanship, making it a standout for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
