These are from Kiene's website, called the shop but labor day and all.
No. 1 - 3.7 in - 4.0 oz - WF10 + 175 yds - $329 usd.
No. 2 - 4.1 in - 8.0 oz - WF12 + 200 yds - $359 usd
No. 3 - 4.1 in - 8.0 oz - WF12 + 250 yds - $399 usd
#1 will balance with most 4-8 weight Switch rods and with most 4-6 weight Spey rods.
#2 will balance with most 6-9 weight Spey rods.
#3 will balance with most 7-10 weight Spey rods.
I've seen different weights listed for the #2,3 on other sites. The same size and weight but with different capacity? After a long day of swinging, the balance of the rod when the line is out is very important to me. Im looking into getting one of these reels for a loomis 5110-4, Z 7110-4, and a Z 7136-4. Im also looking for info on the breakdown of the english made models, witch ones fit modern reel seats, certain years better than others/how to distinguish? Some people say korean models are made better...... some others disagree??? Do they all SING the same??? Maybe Mr. Kiene could chime in. That Grande Rhonde picture, looks like maybe a Hardy? Any advice/feedback would be greatly appreciated.Thanks for your time.
