I know zero about fly fishing and even less about the pricing of fly fishing equipment. I hear what the guys are saying about paying big $$$ for something that cannot be justified, but hells bells, one can see if a product is quality or not, and some of these pictures make me want to buy one and frame it.

Pictures can be deceiving but from where i am sitting i can see that lots of craftsmanship and effort went into making some of these reels.

Two more pics of the Trilogy....

If I am not mistaken, there is a fly shop in Jhb that has a box set for sale, only difference is that it's not for $2000USD, its more.

Anyone ever heard about Banax reels? I know they are not upmarket at all, but never heard about them and can get one with spare spool want to use for a 4 WT rod?
