I would fish them on anything from a 1-5wt.
But ultimately they would probably go on my 2-4wt rods.

It's two rods. The one is a 5wt 9wt 5 piece and the other rod is a 2 in 1 Flyrod and UL Spinning rod. Finishing both up and waiting for my aluminium end caps to arrive from the States, once I finished the tubes, I will take pics of everything together and post some pics.

Ja I got some, but I am still working on a few ideas in terms of what to Lazer Engrave on the End Caps.

Right as promised here are some pics....


Lets start off with the original Remco....






Note that it only has 3 pillars to secure the rings


The innards of the original....



Note that the gear is made out of plastic so is the clicker and clicker knob.


The Replica's Innards....



Note that the replica has 4 pillars to secure the rings


Stainless Gear and Stainless Clicker and Clicker Knob thats adjustable.





You will also note that my drag knob differs from the original. I have both the original and modified knobs, but I prefer the modified as to the original.


Finally the drag...





It has a Teflon/Cork drag as per the original. The drawing doesn't show it, but it sports a one way bearing that is press fitted on the inside of the drive mechanism.


Some useless info is that the replica with the added pillar and stainless gear and clicker system only weighs about 15 grams more than the original of 160 grams.

They are from Sweden. The original was first made in the Netherlands and then in Denmark. And there is a difference between these two as well.
