I am now a dealer and agent for Saracione Fly Reels.  These are simply the finest reels that you can purchase today.  Not only do they look great on a bamboo rod but their functional abilities are unsurpassed.  Available immediately are 3" and 2 3/4" reels.  I have them in left hand wind.  The 3" reel handles up to a #5 line and the 2 3/4" up to a #4.  The fit and finish of these reels is amazing.  I can honestly say that a lot of higher priced reels are not of this quality.  They are priced currently at $750.00.  I think that Joe will raise prices relatively soon because of high demand.

   

 

I also am able to offer the new Hardy Perfect Fly Reels.  These are great great in the same tradition as the original Perfects.  They have an agate line guide and a very nice matte grey finish.  There several sizes available.  All of the Hardy re-issues have sold out and are destined to be future collectibles. 

Available Sizes:

2 5/8"  LH/RH------$850.00

2 7/8"  LH/RH------$900.00

3 1/8" LH/RH------$950.00
