    Light and Robust...at over 6 ounces for the smallest one??? Neat looking reels I will admit...but, I would not consider them light...IMHO

    My Teton Tioga's serve me fine n will keep doing so for years to come n all for very little moolah! Bet the price of those would equal my rent this month! N not be nearly as durable as a Teton... Look pretty delicate.

    Sorry, I did not mean to imply I bought one....For me to spend that much money on a reel someone would have to beat me for half a day with a stupid stick!!

    I couldn't find a view of the handle side of the reel. They are cool looking reels, but my Battenkill Disc works just fine. Come to think of it, so does my old gold Pflueger Supreme.

    Ari Hart reels are considered to be some of the finest reels ever made. They are collectors items and wind up in museums...

    I first came across this Lake Taupo F2 at "Lords of the Fly", a shop in West Los Angeles, CA back in the early 80's. I am still kicking myself for not having purchased it...simply put, they ARE form and function...





    To own one is to have a portion of FF history...

    I like the Ltd Edition Trilogy. Note I said like, but want - no way. My wife would kill me and then sell my equipment for pennies on the dollar or give it away to Goodwill.

    Well, I have seen them now. Such a different look than most fly reels....I think they are ugly as heck-e-dern.
