I have followed Taylor reels since their first "type 1" reel came out and I wanted to see what the feedback was like on these reels before committing. They claim to be just as good as the SOME big brand reels for a fraction of the cost. Well this past weekend they launched the Revolution reel on kickstarter and the first backer gets one of these Revolution reels for $1. I was lucky enough and quick enough on the draw to actually be the first backer, claiming that $1 reel prize, which will only be shipped if the project reaches it's goal of $15k. Anyone ever used a taylor reel? They seem like pretty decent builds especially for the price. Korean made, likely in a similar factory to those big name brands. Apparently the Revolution drag system is quite good, but who knows. Ps. I actually will have to pay $21 with shipping, working out to ~$25 with the exchange rate

Wow.. far too young. He seemed like a great guy on these forums and all of these memories of him confirm it!

Nice ties bird and andy!!!

I like the 9' for Bow dry fly fishing.. 8'9" or 8'6" for smaller streams

These two colours are a good pair

Damn hound chewed up the cape I used on these flies

Wow good to see!

Dang, just bought a Ultralite DD 5000... Still seems like a sweet reel

Love those Gary!

Incredible collection Taco!

Oh I forgot to email you pictures of my Fenwick 8wt glass! I fished the butterstick a bit last summer and had some troubles with the slow action.. I ended up returning it, but it was likely more a function of my flaky casting haha

Incredible photos!

Wow bummer guys.. sorry to hear!

Ya totally. Grande was incredible too.

Very excited!

Saweet. The last 2 podcasts were awesome!

I think I can make it out on Friday

Try emailing SA. The exact same thing happened to me in not a lot of use with my SA mastery gpx line. I emailed them, they said send the line back and we'll send you a brand new one! The new line faired well this last season and didn't see the same premature wearing that the old line had.

YES YES YES!

Amazing

woah. damn good!

Happy bday gbd!
