I’m very excited for what Chris and Vicki will do for the J.W. Young brand and its heritage. A well maintained J.W. Young reel will provide a lifetime of service and still be something you can pass on through the family generations.

Gary Mills, master reel maker

A J.W. Young reel may be ‘old school’, but it never goes out of fashion. It’s where tradition meets technology and art mixes with efficiency. It has a timeless quality that is never surpassed. When I use a J.W. Young reel I feel more connected and in tune with my surroundings. There simply is no better choice of centrepin reel out there. They look wonderful, feel sumptuous, and they really do enhance the pleasure of fishing.

Bob James, legendary allrounder

JW Young and Sons are simply the best centrepin on the market, in my humble opinion. Everything made screams perfection and precision, with minimal maintenance these pins will last generations. I will be handing mine down to my son. This is all combined with second to none customer service.

Thank you so much once again. The company seems to have the personal touch that so many tackle brands have lost over the years. Testament to your hard work.
