If money were no object re fly reel?

Only if money was no object, and they aren't made any more: Charlton

Listen to the Lady!

Another great, no longer produced reel is the Ross San Miguel or Vision. Thank goodness for Ebay, eh?

I love click and pawl reels for 5 weights and under and for me that spells Abel TR or Creek series. Rock solid and unmatched fit and finish.

Loop or Danielsson would top my list, I haven't tried a Nautilus but they sure look great! I also haven't tried Lamson yet, but have heard NOTHING but rave reviews for them. Some of them are affordable enough (since money IS a concern) that I plan to pick one up soon.

And I have to admit this one looks pretty sweet!

Like others have said, for trout fishing (about 85% of what I do), the reel is little more than a line holder and eye candy.

That said, however...many trout fishermen areknown for their intense vanity, and thus you have lots of pretty (if overqualified) options for a ridiculously expensive fly reel.

As much as my Orvis BBS II gets the job done in a simply stated, elegant fashion, I do have to say that I get an inordinate amount of pleasure out of using my Loop EvoTec.

Probably the most expensive Fly Logic for 9-11 wt that's designated for the salt.

Ooooooooooo, maybe a Peerless, or Hardy Perfect. Hardy also has another reel that I really like, but I can't remember the name of it.

TT.
