About Pond Skater

Welcome to Pond Skater — specialising in cult carp fishing reels, custom upgrades and specialist rebuilds.

Pond Skater has grown naturally from years spent buying, selling and working on all kinds of cult reels. What started as a genuine interest in these reels has gradually developed into something more. Pond Skater is the result — a dedicated place for anglers looking for quality reels, custom upgrades and specialist reel work.

I carry a large and constantly changing selection of cult carp fishing reels, from proven classics and harder-to-find models to reels with carefully chosen custom upgrades. I take pride in what I sell and aim to offer reels that I’d be happy to own and use myself.

Custom Upgrades

Pond Skater also offers a range of custom upgrades, allowing you to put your own stamp on a favourite set of reels or create something a little different from the standard setup.

Whether you’re looking for subtle changes or a more individual build, the focus is always on quality and keeping the character of the original reel.

Specialist Rebuilds

I’ll also be offering a specialist rebuild service for Tournament SS3000, SS5000, GS3000, GS5000 and GS35 Reels reels.

These iconic reels have earned a loyal following amongst carp anglers and, with the right attention, can continue performing for many years. The service will be aimed at anglers who want to breathe new life into a well-used set, restore an old favourite or have their Tournament reels professionally rebuilt and ready for the bank.

Pond Skater is about great reels, proper service and a genuine appreciation for the tackle that carp anglers love.

Whether you’re searching for your next set of cult reels, looking for custom upgrades or want to bring an old set of Tournaments back to life — welcome to Pond Skater.
