With the increase in shooting heads and multi head fly lines where you only really need one reel and a running line I decided to invest in a new 'toy' to compliment my double hander setup ready for the season and also for my recent trip to the Rio Grande. After a lot of shopping around I decided upon a Farlex reel, which are hand and custom built by a gent named Tim Gelinas in America. First of all, check out the site: www.farlexreels.com
Ok, so they're not the cheapest thing you well ever buy, but the reels are personal and are something to cherish and hopefully pass on to a future generation as they are certainly built to last. You get to customise the reel and then you get a video of Tim assembling your reel before it is sent. It's a true work of art and if you're looking for something a bit special, then you will not be disappointed if you invest in one of these.
