boy I sure am found of the cfo, what's wrong with getting used spools for
it?. wow the old orvis reels were made by hardy in England, or so I've heard, Hardy always stood high with me for fly reels, ever since I've bought my first cfo, I wonder if hardy is outsourcing too? "sandfly" wrote in message ... 90% of the under 200.00 reels are being made in a few over seas factorys..one line is okuma, the one right next to it could be orvis..so on and so on, all in the same building...all made about the same with a few quirks to make each reel different..the price denotes how good.. -- sandfly sandfly/bob flyfishing instructor, tying and shop owner http://tinyurl.com/3x53lq N.J.B.B.A.2215 formally bucks now tioga co. pa. there's a fine between sane and Insane !

Orvis original "Battenkill" is $85 usd
Ross has the "Flystart" that is $45 usd Actually there are so many reels now it is hard to choose. PS: I have a friend who got testicular cancer from using an Okuma fly reel. -- Bill Kiene Kiene's Fly Shop Sacramento, CA, USA Web site: www.kiene.com wrote in message ... I've had an Orvis CFO III for some time now, and while it's a nice reel, I just can't afford to buy the requisite number of $115 spools to match the different fly lines I use. And, at the same time, I have to say my old $40 Okuma Sierra never did me any harm. With that in mind, what's your vote for: Best reel under $100? Best reel under $50? |

Emergency surgery can't be any fun but on the bright side, from now on when folks tell you you're full of **** you can nod sagely and reply, "yeah, but not as much as I used to be." ;-) Best wishes for getting well and a Happy 2008 ! -- Ken Fortenberry |
