For Weston, and other manufacturer products.
As a lifelong angler and with over 30 years experience in a precision engineering environment, manufacturing components for Formula 1 and aerospace industries, I started Weston Developments in 2007 designing my first shallow spool.
Since then I have invented a number of products, our speed caps, slow oscillation conversions, custom alloy handles, our high impact line clips and also designing products for the angling trade.
We are proud to say all Weston products are designed and manufactured here in the UK and I would like to thank all our customers, past and present, for their support.

I was already using carbon washers and speed caps on my 3x Ultegra Ci4+ which transform these reels, I just had them repaired and fully serviced by Andy and they feel better than when they came new. Top service and top customer service

Great products, I have the Daiwa Tournament TS5000BE.
So far I’ve upgraded to the Alloy Handles, Slow Oscillation Drives and the Shallow spools. All are great quality and included speedy delivery.
The slow Oscillation drives are not to tricky to fit, just take your time. By the time you get to the third reel it’s a doddle.
The first reel I stripped down and put together again, only to realise I had put the old worm drive back in!
However they are worth fitting as they do make a big difference to the line lay.
Next purchase may well be the speed caps but I’ll wait and see what a set of carbon washers does first.

TOP SERVICE for my original SS3000 reels, after being recommended by a couple of friends to use Weston Developments i sent off my babies and 3 weeks later they came back like brand new, they like different reels! Can't recommend Andy at Weston's work enough! 5 STARS!

Received 4 of my SS3000's back today and can't believe the difference in feel compared to my other 3 x standard factory builds. Everything feels so much tighter and smoother and I'm really looking forward to seeing the difference the slower oscillation makes in angling situations. I have a fair idea how they handled after 25 years of using them in their normal state and now look forward to many more years in their pimped up state.
