![Question :?](https://www.fishingthefly.co.uk/forum/Smileys/classic/smiley-question.png)
1. One of the most innovative companies in fly reel design, arguably they were one of the first to successfully produce a cassette reel.
2. They have made reels/rebranded their designs for other brands, but they're not Hardy.
3. Quality machining from bar-stock was where this company started, but not in Europe.
4. The brand started in the 1970s but disappeared (more or less) by the 00's.
Who are they
