Forget thinking that you "NEED" a Helios or other, high priced rod and instead, save your poker winnings for THIS little chunk of machined aluminum!
It's Ari' Hart's new "Astrid" 5/6 reel and you, too, can own one for a mere
$1,799.00 MSRP, (and two box tops).
Comes COMPLETE, as Ari' Hart claims............"With it's own reel seat, reel bag AND a spool". (I thought that MOST fly reels came with at least ONE spool!?).
It's truly amazing, to me, how much "ugly" $1,799.00 will buy, nowadays!?
