This reel originated from a discussion between me and Terry Hayden, the long standing Australian reel maker. Terry makes a wonderful range of saltwater (and recently freshwater) fly reels. I wanted a simple, functional Australian made fly reel. Terry came up with this lovely reel, which we have named "The Snowy River", after the iconic Australian high country river. Suitable for line weights of 5-7, with room for 150m plus of backing, this reel will compliment any bamboo or graphite rod. Custom laser engraving is available on these reels (inquire for pricing).
The Snowy River Reel: $390
Silk lines are finer than plastic lines in the corresponding lines weight. This makes them more efficient casting in wind, and more delicate in presentation. Properly cared for, a silk line will outlast a plasic fly line several times over. Silk lines can also be used on graphite rods as well as bamboo.
Phoenix Silk produce the finest Silk Lines available today. Each line represents craftsmanship of the highest order. We offer these in DT 27 metre, available in natural (straw) or green. Each line comes with a tin of Mucilin for maintenance of the line.
Phoenix line (including a tin of Red Mucilin): $330
Additional tin of Red Mucilin: $8
These wonderful lines are made by Terenzio Zandri in Italy. Braided from synthetic fibres in the same traditional manner as silk, these lines fish and feel the same as silk, but without the same amount of maintenance. Lines are available in line weights from #0 to #6 (including fractional line weights such as #4 1/2), in 25 metre Double Taper configuration. Beautifully presented in an antique style line box with dressing and leaders, these offer performance and value in a traditional style line.
Terenzio Artificial Silk Line: $180
