Hi Vlad, Thanks for the kind words! I appreciated!

I postpone the coastal trip to next month... spare some time for the lab data, and be able to spent couple early hours to enjoy the river myself. It was great to be there with the first light... the hybrids are moving in...apparently... a good morning river walk! : )

Mark...that reel is really cool. It looks like you stole a wheel off a ten speed bike it's so big! I bet it can pick up some line.

Excellent photos...and getting out with the birds is really one of the best ways to start a day.

Those hybrids look like great fly fare.

Ha Cameron,

Exactly... it's too big... well... visually... (almost scare me away...) definately not as pretty as those Beaudex reels...

but they functioning extremely well... just set the drag and let the fish run...almost "unfair" to the fish... But I really do love the "line picking" speed...super fast! no coil memories to the lines also!

I bought it for striper fishing and light saltwater species... will see how well they hold up.

Mark...I think it is a very cool reel...and don't let it scare you a bit. It looks right on that rod. I'd seriously think about one on a new build fiberglass fly rod.
