I ran across this this morning doing some research on early Young reels, thought it was humorous :
J.W.Young fly reels / J. W. Young reels
Makers of extraordinary fly reels for over 100 years, J. W. Young and Sons from Redditch, England continue to put out only the best in fly fishing.
Using only the finest aluminum, each reel is individually milled, fitted with high quality stainless steel ball races and nickel spokes.
Distinguished in the fly fishing industry, J.W. Young and Sons' reels are designed by fishermen such as Bob James, one of England's leading anglers
and the United States' John Wilson, a member of the USA Fly Fishing team.
I imagine they have the wrong John Wilson in mind. If you look up the other J.W. he appears to be a champion carp fishing guide.
cheers, Brian
