A few new reels

[SpringCreek]

Had some extra time and thought I would post a couple of pictures of some recent acquisitions. One will be fished, the others now reside in a display cabinet.

Megoff Boomerang Reel





Kineya Sir Edward's Mark I





Mandi Anti Reverse & Burl





Giorgio Dallari Briar Reel

Very nice....Congrats. I would fish all of them (very carefully) to fulfill the pleasure of owning these works of art. What rods would you pair them with?

Is the adjustment of the reel to rod angle on the first reel for balancing purposes, comfort, coolness or all of the above?

I was going to say that I like this one or that one, but I like them all!

Very cool outside-the box designs! Thanks for showing them.

The Megoff is going to be fished on a 7'9" 5 wt I have under construction at the moment.

That Megoff is wild looking, almost ‘steampunk’.

It is done for balancing, at least in principle, as it moves the center of gravity forward. Although I have not cast a rod with this one, I have enjoyed fishing with reels that have offset feet. The Ari 't Hart Remco is likely the first one I ever cast in this design and used to have an Abel arm on a reel I used for steelhead as it made casting easier after a long day on the water.

Very nice. The Megoff is rather unique and I love the classy looks of the Kineya. I’d be proud to own all of them. Thanks for sharing!

I am completely down with the steam punk look to the Megoff. I think I want one, but worry about the rod that would have to built to fit it.

I love Sir Edward's Mark I, it is so beautiful. But I wonder how to break it down for a maintaience.

Too bad it doesn't adjust the weight further back as line is removed from the reel
