  1. Dormisch-Absi R2 reel ,

    Heres a little info on it ,

    Line weights:4/5/6

    Reel weight:3.88oz./110g

    Drag:Click & pawl style

    Material:Hard anodized, CNC-machined, aerospace grade aluminum alloys

    6061T6 and 7075T6

    *can be switched from left, to right hand operation

    Price: $365 US

    Extra Spool: $175 US

    I believe its discontinued

  2. I have the Loop Opti speedrunner as well , its 5-1/8" diameter and an 1" wide with lots of porting , but that reel picks up like no other , I use it on my switch rod in the lower niagara ! You do have to be careful not to step on it for sure , I could see it bending but I have had no issues with mine , I think you'll like the Hardy my Dad just got the 9000 I believe, for a switch rod but I haven't had the chance to play with it yet but they are kind of the same idea as the loop I think it will make a great trout reel , I'm not a fan of the Lamson reels though I've never owned one . Annnnd the Hardy will look pretty wicked on that custom without a doubt

  3. My next reel will be a Nautilus NV 10/11 with the G-8 spool , buuut I have to save my pennies . Currently I use a Loop Opti runner on my 8 wt single hand and its been a great reel fairly good line pick up and a smooth drag it handles screaming bonefish and trout . I'm not a fan of loud click reels myself

  4. Not sure if you're open to other options but you can fish really cheap in Cozumel. I did full day fly fishing for bonefish, a boat, guide and beers(and lunch) for 250 usd. Best months for fish are May and April. Lots of bonefish, permit show up in May as well as baby tarpon (up to 20 lbs). You can fly and spin fish all day and no winds in the spring. I'm working on a trip back there maybe this year but things are getting very busy for me, maybe 2014.

     

     

    Thanks Fang

     

    Not really looking for bonefish though , more looking to cross some more fish off the list , I have 2 maybe 3 weeks planned next year chasing bones, permit and tarpon again in cuba . I've been to Mexico as well but didn't get to fish much , I want to do the florida thing cause I only want to go for 4 days max not a whole week

  5. I have the Itch to go fish the salt again , so at the end of october I'm planning a 4 day weekend to the St.Petes/ Tampa Bay area

    If anyone has ever been to the area or has done something similar can share some Info it would be great

    Cheap Flights ?

    Good guide experiance ?

    Good place to eat?

    Places to stay away from ?

    I will be mainly Fly fishing , but will be bring some gear rods as well , mostly interested in sight fishing Flats and mangroves

     

    Thanks for any help !
