cplummer Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 It's worth 10 but you won't like using it. Good for a backup if your north and your good one breaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cplummer Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 $138 ? They should be brought up on rape charges lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogman Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 It's heavy but decent if you are slinging a big 10 or 11wt. On a 9 it would feel like an achor. Just as a reference my 9-12 reel is 6.5oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icehut Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Not exactly a premium brand in the FF world, but if it spins nicely and has a half decent drag, and you have a rod to balance it, sounds like a bargain to me. I've always maintained that the reel is, for the vast majority of flyfishing, nothing more than a line storage device... the average trout angler will seldom see his backing or need a fancy drag system. Sure a $700 Loop is seksy as hell, but outside of salmon, steelhead, or saltwater... paying over a c note for a reel is just silly. Heck, now we're even catching on to going reel-less, with the brilliant Japanese Tenkara style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
