Very nice reels, I haven't got one, but Garry has sent me samples and I was very impressed with the quality.

This is not a reel for multiple spools and lines etc, it is a reel to use with your favourite line and rod ....... and to enjoy.

Absolutely perfect to go with a bamboo, it has that same kind of tactile pleasure, if you know what I mean. Practical for day to day fishing and beautiful to look at!

Best wishes
Mike

Nice looking reels; even in terms of 'Murican dollars, not a 'bad deal' at all for a 'hand made' reel.

If you look at the Wizard Reel here: The Mill Tackle Company: Fishing Reel Repairs, Ser under hand-built fly reels.
you can still see the machining (turning) through the coated finish.
Just an observation not a criticism so don't get on my back.

BAD PERSON! BAD PERSON!!

You've seen right through my silly ruse. Ya, ya I do fish 'Boo's' for trout and they're the Cat's Meow. One of those Puppies on my 3 or 5 could be a total treat.

"Beach Talk" with folks is a lot of fun; 'Whooa, never seen one of 'those,' where did you get it?'

'Out of the UK.'

Back to Jeep, pull out pad/pen and jot down Fellows e-mail address so I can send him the link to the 'where' later on in the day.

Fun stuff.
