For Cornbreads Eyes Only

You are into handmade reels. Here's one for you. 100% made in the USA. Very simple looking reel. Its not ported out to nothing. It just looks like it should be on a two hander.  If there was a way for me to post the sound of this thing. Plain nutz! Click & pawl for steelhead baby.

    Very nice, each in its own, just doesn't look as if that reel belongs on that rod....simply my .02
     
    I think you need to talk Adam into building you a custom click & pawl reel to match that pretty rod!

    Mike, she measures 4"x 1 7/8" with a spool gap of 1 1/8". Weighing in at 12.5 oz. The sound is crazy. You want to hear it? Warning, it is loud!!!!

    Paul, As you said to each his own. I am digging the look. The reel gives off the "bare bones" effect which compliments the cork work on the rod. The two together draws your eye. But you dont really know what to look at. At least thats what I get out of it.If Adam does build me one, I would want it to do the same.

    I have  2 of those reels, along with some bamboo fly rods ( granger ) and 3 spey ( also bamboo rods ) that were passed down to me from my grand father .. all rods and reels are factory mint including the silk wraps and interchangable tips will post up a pick or two for you to drool over Panda... and no they wont see the rock anytime soon

    i've done this and it's insane, had a j.w. young sound like it was going to explode. also a good way to break in a bushing reel (just make sure it's oiled)

    have a nice day.
