New reels that won't break the bank - flygoddess - 08-27-2012 Allen Fly Fishing gear. Justin and Evan are always looking to improve on the gear they carry. The new AST line was introduced earlier this year. I got the AST 9' 6 wt four piece rod and it is fantastic. A Medium Action rod in beautiful red. Recently they have added some new reels. Fantastic drag, well made reels.\The New AST reel This is a great reel and the price is very friendly. There will be a new one out soon and I have got to play with the Proto Type. I have this in a 7/8 wt for my Carp fishing. This reel is SOLID!!! Just sharing this great find I came across.

I keep looking back and forth at their stuff and just cant justify a purchase... and its not them.. its money.. but I will say they have some awesome deals that usually run weekly.. and if Im not mistaken arent they doing a big holiday weekend sale right now.. did I read right.. they now have lines??? and you are testing prototypes??

There is a NEW Trout II that is so smooth, light weight and beautiful. Price will be $139. I think but this is so worth that. Not sure about the lines. I think they tried that but to keep the quality was tough so, I think they discontinued fly line. The reels on sale right now is the best you will ever find IMHO at a discontiued price that is very nice. I have three of them on order.

I will agree that is a great price .. but again use versus cost is the argument that I get all the time.. have a good one sis... MacFly [signature]
