At the show I ran into Andrew Bennett, owner of Deneki Outdoors. He told me about a reel maker in a back corner with some really interesting, old-school reels. He was into them. He also mentioned the prices, $1,200. I saw the booth, but knowing the price acted like some sort of BOTB Force-field.
Deneki put up a post about the reel. It’s a beautiful thing.
Classic
It does have a certain nautical look to me. Where have I seen this before?
Hmmm… looks familiar.
What do you guys think? Would you want one of those Saracione reels? They are probably pretty amazing to handle, maybe a tad heavier than I’d want to fish with and certainly more expensive than I’m likely to ever plop down for (excluding inflation).
Would you buy one?
