We just receive the new G.Loomis 'East Fork' series of fly reels today.
They are drop cold forged and then machined by their parent company, Shimano.
Drop cold forging is the most expensive and powerful way to produce anything out of metal.
They have the same drag as one of Shimano's world class bait casting reels.
The come in three sizes: 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8 so far. All under $200 USD.
We hope they make them in one size larger for light salt water and Spey.
These are going to really be popular.
