Most of the lines are hiding behind the reels. and Rod, Kelly Davison tells me you can never have too many fly lines.

You were smarter than me. I have a bunch of lines I have no idea what they are. Misplaced the boxes and now I dont know what weight they are  ???

Nice reel, I like the S-handle styles. I was looking at the Bellinger 4.5in reel but have decided to make due with a Marquis #2 until he comes out with a 4in. Those loop reels are very nice fishable reels, but for the extra couple of bucks it's nice to have something that has some history and won't lose it's value  ;D

No she dosent,but I told her that I'm storing this stuff for you Dave.

Golfie its kinda small for a spey, would be ok for a shorter switch rod perhaps.
