Re: Are you using any Chinese manufactured reels?

I'm still using a made in China Daiwa Caldia 2000-sized spinning reel. Aside from a couple of the design features that I don't like (just personal preferences regarding the non-folding handle and the rotor design), the reel's held up well over the years.

Here's one of the stocked brook trout that I caught yesterday using some rather primitive ice-fishing gear, from an eastern Ontario back lake.

Do the Shimano FL and FM Stradics come with folding handles?

I couldn't find any answers to this question using a Google image search. If anyone could provide an answer it'd be appreciated!

Re: New Stradic Fm

I've seen other photos of the FM where it has a white frame and rotor, like certain previous Stradic versions.

Here's a 3 lb walleye that I caught fishing from shore in the Gowganda area, Ontario, last September.

Very nice. I wish Abu would make a new batch of the 1500/2500 round reels.

Re: Barclay Fly Rods

Very beautiful; I'd love to get my hands on a (now discontinued) 64p . Chris has temporarily suspended taking new orders to deal with a slight backlog, spend more time fishing, etc.

Dalleinf, that's outstanding! What lure did you use to catch it?
