This segment covers an interesting era of fishing reels made at Government-run and privately operated engineering workshops. The reels below are examples of Seamartin-modeled reels that were made by Engineers, Toolmakers, and highly skilled fitters and turners, who in some circumstances were on emergency stand-by maintenance duties. Some of these skilled employees engaged during their spare time in hobby craft by producing their much-loved model of the classic Seamartin reel which was often a popular item created by these enthusiasts during the maintenance and production downtimes. During those downtimes, a floor supervisor would approach an employee and say: “Work on your foreigner”. This was done to create an impression in the eyes of senior production managers that workers were busily engaged in company projects. Thus these workshop-made reels, or any other items made during these 'down-times' were known or referred to as “Foreigners”. Ladd B. 2007.
