European

European brands are unique on fly reels also .

MITCHELL710
Automatic fly reel by MITCHELL . The spring is wound up by pulling the line or turning the rightside plate . The line is wound by pulling the trigger . Although it is unique , it is heavy .

MITCHELL7130
It was sold with fly line in 90's .
Although the most of fly reels are machine-cut metal , 7130 is low-costed resin . It is suitable for MITCHELL , which has been making reels for the peoples .
I wanted more unique design , because the interior of old French car was unique even it it was made of resin .
Regrettably , its line-guide is not smooth and its weight is not so light .

Loop2W
Swedish unique reel . Its large core of spool is good , because most of large reels has too much capacity .
Its brake is only tightening the spool . So , its winding is not smooth . Its click had broken soon after purchasing . Its price is about 300$ in Japan.....
Japanese importer says it is suitable for #7~9 . I think it is not matched .
