Fly Logic Logic Arbor Series (Large Arbor Reel)

Dietz.....been fishing fly logic reels for over 10 years now...........the FLA 5 will get you about 130 yards and a 7 wt line........it is perfect for a 6 wt line...........I have owned this particular reel and loved it........a little on the heavy side......but a great reel nonetheless--  I fished this reel with a 7 wt WF LINE and 20 pound micron backing

the FLO 456 is a nice reel.........for steelies I'd bump up to the 789.........althought the 456 --  130 yards 20 pound micron with a 6 wt line--would suffice........

I have owned roughly over 20 fly logic reels over the past 10 years.............sold them in hopes of finding a better reel........I have not found a better reel........these reels are flat out awesome.........

The FLP 567 is an amazing reel for the price and holds a ton of backing with a 7 wt line and holds plenty of backing with an 8 wt line

the wildberry color is my favorite.......midnight blue and mossy green follow.......

You can find them cheaply on ebay--  the fly fishing shop......the FLA 5 is about 159 bucks, the FLO 456 is 149 and the FLO 789 runs 149....sweet sweet deals.......

Just keep your eye out for the FLO large arbor reel--FLO 789 Large Arbor  Killer looks, but no backing capacity unless you drop down to 6 or 7 wt............this reel would be great on a 10.5 foot or 11 foot 5 or 6 wt switch rod

I was introduced to the reels of Fly Logic when I was in college.....1998.......fell in love with them almost immediately.......I have fished with some top notch reels.......sold them all and returned to my first true love....
Fly Logic

I have also fished the FLA 10  --  used it for salmon fishing--  I put many salmon on the bank with this reel.......held a country mile of backing with a   10 wt WF-F line

again, can't say enough good things about Fly Logic reels

They even have a Try Logic Program--  you use your credit to CHARGE the reel or rod.........they mail it to you for free.......you have 14 days to try the reel or rod......if you like it--keep it---if you don't like it....tell them you are sending it back.....they will refund the money to your credit card

customer service is top notch

their rods are nice........I like the FLO series over the FLO+ series
 
I have owned FLO+ 9 foot 5 weight   ROCKET LAUNCHER  --  big river stick   ultra fast action
                   FLO+ 8 foot 6 inch 4 wt  mini-rocket launcher  --  really moves some line  ultra fast action
                   FLO+ 9 foot   8 wt   -- rocket launcher
 
I like a rod with a more med / fast action / fast action        I am not a whippy type of caster.....
 
I have fished their FLO 8'9" 5/6 rod and loved it---it is great for east coast fishing--  you can cast a country mile with it or keep it close and tight with roll casts
My friend has a FLO 9 foot 6 wt and loves it........he has it matched with FLO MG 456 reel
 
FLO+ rods are very nice looking rods--  I just had trouble loading them at close range--fishing in PA, for the most part is up close and personal......every now and then you have to bang out a cast--the 5 wt and 4wt FLO+ rods were true rocket launchers.......I liked the 4wt better than the 5wt........
 
Once I get my life back in order.......I am going to get a 8 foot 3 wt FLO+ rod and give it a good work out.....I was told this rod is outstanding and matches well to their FLO 234 reel--
 

they do make a FLO 4/5 wt that is 8 foot 9 inches
 
I will be trying to get this rod for the spring..........along with the FLO+ 8 foot 3 wt
