I like the black with silver/brass rims myself. Yes i know the Loop Classics look similar and so do the Saraciones look similar to the ported face Bogdan's. seems like some of our other reputable reel companies may be copying. Much the way Red Truck copies the Islanders

your reel is gorgeous Jim  


HOOK - if the wife ever let me spend $1500 + on a reel it would have to be a collectible so i didnt ruin its value by giving it "character"

old photo.................

is that 4 Bogdan's, an islander and a Marquis ? or is that ported one a Cascapedia ?

nice little collection you've got there. (need drooling icon!!)

[jetboatjim]

hardy,islander,loops ,cascapadia (english made) and a bogdan............i'll take out the "other"reels and take a photo.

[HOOK]

I never actually realized how close the Loops and Bogdans look alike in the black/silver. its actually a bit dissapointing seeing as im sure Loop is the copycat, good thing they are still really nice reels


Jim dont you own some Speyco reels ?

[jetboatjim]

no , but I do have the "speyco" name registered since 1996 ..........someone stole my name !

if you bought blue,white,brown eared pheasant skins , along with several other pheasants, in the lowermainland they were probably from me.

This one arrived about a month ago.

if only there was a "drool" icon...

Speychucker - how do you like the Speyco reel ?

I know as you tighten the clicker it tightens for both in and outgoing, you find that a pain or do you just keep it tight enough to stop the spool over running with a fish on ? I have read a few mnor complaints about it

what model is that ?

nice looking reel by the way

It's the 3 3/4 River Series Switch with the Snake Roll handle.
I've also heard a few people complain about the clicker, I just keep it set as it was when delivered and it works just fine.
