Just heard from Vlad. No discussion on his situation but at least he is still ok.

That’s great to hear. Thanks, John, for the update!

Just heard from Vlad. He and his family are safe and are in a location where they should stay that way. He appreciates all the support. I told him that you all have shown your concern over the past days and weeks.

Thanks for the update. That is excellent news.

Please consider donating to the Ukraine humanitarian effort regularly. Their food supplies electricity water and other infrastructure are shot. Without support people will be starving. We have so much why not help a little?

I last heard from him in April. He and his folks had left the country and were safely away from the war.
Cheers,
James.

Hello Everyone!

Decided to update the first post instead of starting of a new thread.

It has been a long time since I was last with you... So many different things have happened in my life!... But finally I managed to get these reels made and they are available again. I'm truly delighted with the high quality of manufacture and I'm sure you will be too. Each reel has been inspected and built by myself personally.

UK customers can buy the reels from my official UK agent - Thomas Turner. The rest of the world fellas can purchase directly from my web site here: vr-reels.com

Now, the Aluminium reels are currently available in two sizes: Trutta Perfetta 3" and 2 3/4". Colors available are Dark Olive, Clear Silver and Champagne Gold.

Also I have a few Titanium Trutta 3" left in stock. These are the last ones - and I do not know really when I can start to manufacture Ti reels again...

Also for December - January I'm planning to release the Salar Incomparabile 3 5/8" in Aluminium I'm currently working on the bigger diameter Trutta style reels - 3 1/2" and 4".

If you have any questions I'll do my very best to answer them.

Wonderful to hear that you are safe and back to making your wonderful reels Vlad! First I saw some listed here by a dealer, then I got your email newsletter and I thought Hurray!

The 3 1/2" TP sounds very interesting for my 5 and 6 weight rods! I will be looking forward to them. Stay well!

Quite excited to see the 4" trout reel coming up - and a big howdy from me to you. Glad to see you friend. Cheers!

Really pleased to see your still able to make reels Vlad. Managed to get some decent fish(18-20 inch) on the reel of yours I have and it preformed perfectly. Just wanted to let you know and wishing you well. Daryl

Really beautiful Vlad.

I’m really digging my Truttas - rendering my other reels obsolete. The silver spool looks great with a lot of the body colors too - as you have seen!

Thanks for keeping these reels going under difficult circumstances.

John
