Hi Dan,

I found the Fenwick cartridge fly reels and spools on the web.

I think they are made in England by the British Fly Reel Company now owned
by the Orvis Company. British Fly Reel Company makes lots of low end fly
reels for many companies like SA and Cortland too. Orvis had so many
Battenkill made there, they decided to buy it 5 to 10 years ago?

It looks strangely similar to the original (non-large arbor) Rocky Mountain
by Orvis.

I don't think you will get hurt for $44.95 for a reel and $12.95 for a
cartridge.

Does anyone know anything about the Fenwick cartridge fly reels? Who makes
'em; are they old or new, any good, etc, etc.
