This Brand of reels is something that surely gets made in the East.
Up and till a month or so ago, they only had two models. Why did they not show any prototypes?
Will you see another brand push out the same reels in different colours? The chances are very good.
Now their range start at about $340-$460. Would I pay that for a reel that is mass produced in a country that needs our Rhino Horn for medicinal purposes?
Not a chance. I would go for the real deal. Abel, finish and klaar.

Its good line, I reccomend it.
Personally I'm an Airflo man.

Thanks, my dad uses airflow on his 11wt and it does cast very nicely:)

I got myself the Scientific Anglers GPX Taper Textured wf 5 f last year and a it's been a dream, I don't think i'll change in a hurry.
I have the Cortland 444 on my my spare reel but there is no comparision. The scientific also has very little line memory and I cast it much further than the 444.

Been happy with the Stealth SLA 2 on the 5wt TFO

Here is something my good old friend in Sweden just completed.....

Fantastic craftsmanship and a steal in the $400-$500 price bracket.

He has been working on this design for a few years now and I honestly believe he has now perfected it. Saw that a guy took delivery of one of these in Australia a few months ago.
