The Bougle, loaded with a DT 5wt, is currently the reel I use on that
nice
little bamboo rod that was wrested from the clutches of The Ulcerous Dwarf
of Pahrump and raffled to yours truly at "Penns 2003: Return of the Son of
the Biblical Flood". (A great clave, BTW). I would need a nice reel with
the same (small) foot size as the reel seat on said rod does not accept
all
reel foot sizes. If the replacement reel could sound less like an
amplified
jake brake on an unlubricated 1962 Peterbilt, so much the better.

Whatchagot?


Sorry to post this on the newsgroup but for some reason my mail link is not
working.

I've got a few reels that would work nice on that cane rod. Problem is
parting with them. IMO a cane rod needs a classic style reel, either a Von
Hoff style, Akron Pflueger (wish I could get my hands on one), or a
Hardy/CFO. I've got a Ross San Miguel that would not look bad on it but it's
not classic if you're so inclined.
