I didnt vote for anyone yet,cause i have both john milner( talisman) and a islander (steelheader),l like to use the talisman for steelheading and use the islander steelheader for others.Both are good reels but depend on your budget
-
And then there is Mc Donald!
-
I have the rushton
-
hows the ruston?
-
Anyone ever have an I.M.W. pin. These were made for a short run at the machine shop in Chiliwack of the same name. I believe they have stopped production. I am using an Islander Steelheader.l
-
2 avons for me ;D dad has a hardy silex
-
Islander, only because it's the only one I've ever used
-
I have 2 Silexes and an Islander. Thinking of selling the Islander to buy a Milner
-
I have an I.M.W. they are alright, look very nice. My favorites, based on actually using them are as follows:
1. Milner Kingfisher
2. J.W. Young Trudex II
3. J.W. Young Purist
4. J.W. Young Trudex
5. Islander
6. Hardy Superba
7. Grice & Young Avon Royal Supreme
8. I.M.W.
9. Hardy Silex
I am sure if I tried others the list would be different, but it is based on having fished them
I prefer bushing reels that have a smaller arbour, they start up nice and easy, the larger diameter reels and the bearing reels start up a little slower, making your cast more work.
I wish I have had the chance to own a McDonald, Milner Talisman or a Hardy Major but alas they are just way to expensive.
Of course if the reel isn't true it will be crap, no matter who the maker. ;)
-
right on
-
I have not fished enough with a pin to know the difference. Better quality than the winterrun by trophy
-
My vote goes for my Hardy silex superba, with very honorable mention to my little KP from south Africa.
-
I have a milner, a hardy silex superba and a winter run.... I fish with the winter run cause it's the only 1 I don't care about dropping on the rocks after landing a fish. I realy want 1 of those black anodized milner kingfisher's.... just to spin and look at oooh aaawh ;D
