« on: January 07, 2006, 11:00:44 PM »
just bought a new fly reel (dragonfly kamloops mc arbor reel) for a 6wgt rod.

don't know much about this reel but wondering if anyone has used this reel or has any informaiton about it. just bought it because it looked good and it was a good deal.

thanks.

My friend has one and he used it for trout and kokanee, and a few pinks works nice.

the Fenwick and Dragonfly cartridge reels come from the same maker. 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.

your right. this reel is a brass coloured arbor reel. however it did look very simillar to another fenwick model. i did hear that this reel has japanese bearings as opposed to chinese or taiwanese bearings.

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

It seems i can't find any information on this company either. 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?

our website is not up and running.Hopefully in the next couple of months. We had one but it became too outdated.  What do you need know?
