Scored a new to me reel for small mountain streams next July paired with 2wt rod.
Purchased it off ebay from a seller in Japan. It has some road rash from use which does not bother me one bit. Smooth drag and I added new line/backing purchased from Creekside Angling Issaquah.
The other reel is off shore built Flystart. I liked it fine, but under considerable use the drag failed t
wice. Hoping the USA built Rythm drag lasts longer.
I have bigger Rythem purchased from Anil when his shop was in Fed Way. Never had an issue with it. Solid, strong has fought mighty battles with large Yakima rainbows, Puyallup river pinks and chum.
