Some lovely reel "families" coming out in this thread. I'm seeing many makers or models which I had not previously seen. Thank you to everyone for sharing!

Bottom left diagonal: Lightweight family
  • Made-in-England and a made-in-Korea Featherweight pair
  • Two made-in-Korea LRH Lightweights
Middle diagonal: Marquis family
  • Recent Marquis #5;
  • SA System 5;
  • LLBean Guide 5/6;
  • Two Marquis #7;
  • LLBean Guide 7/8
Top Diagonal: Perfect family
  • Two made-in-Korea Bougles (3" and 3 1/4")
  • Perfect (2009 reissue)
Funny thing is, I've only fished the Bean reels and a not-shown Orvis(Hardy) CFO this year. Gotta get my cane rods out before it's too late...

Here is my Peerless family. Everything but the 3A, I had a weak moment and sold it. The 7 is the last one made and the only one made with a ported face.

Two other kinds of Hardy Princesses than what are usually seen. Same family, different size and color.
