I think the reel that started this thread is the new t6061 cnc'd machine cut reel. This is a completely different reel with a disc drag. I saw one at x-mas at berry's bait. it looked pretty good.

i can't find any website for this dragonfly model.

I see alot of products from dragonfly performance tackle, and have recently bought a Dragon fly kamloops 5/6 reel and rod. although the distributer is located in Burnaby. Does anyone have any info on this company?
