    No, I remembered seeing them while looking for a fly reel for someone else.

    I haven't fished one, but I have played with them in flyshops.  They seem pretty decent.  I bought a thistle model a couple of years ago and just love it though.

    Fishing with bait is like swearing in church.

    I have not been using that model, but I do own a couple of the jaf models. Good reels.

    Very nice reels.  They are a little loud, but it's a click and pawl.  They sound a little like an Orvis CFO or an Abel.

    Thanks fellas    I had hoped I made a good purchase..  The main reason I bought it was it looked like good quality and the weight WOW  Light
