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 Fitter & 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 own much loved model of the classic Seamartin reel that was often a popular item created by these enthusiasts during the maintenance and production down-times. During those down-times 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.
