Any target date for introduction of the 3 1/2" TP?

Amazing reel. That is some of the finest engraving I have seen on a reel.

What a peach - gorgeous work. What detail.

The engraver - curious if there is any relation to the Ryall reels from the US years back ?

Engraving as found on fine side by sides of the past. Makes me want to downsize my 25 reels to just one like this one!

I love my 3" olive one. Might have to consider the 2 3/4.

Boy howdy that is beautiful.

Tone of the brass is less striking.

I know what I am buying myself for Christmas!

 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
