The reels that you need to look at are going to be the Beaudex, Pridex and Condex with a 3" reel coming in at 5 oz. Young built reels for numerous private label shops and the smallest one that I am aware of is a 2 1/2" reel. This link will get you started and you can find other reels listed in these pages. Hope this helps.

Young reels are not really made for light weight, the older ones at least, but you can check over at www.clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com ]]> feeds@yuku.com (flyflingerandy1) http://ultralightflyfishing.yuku.com/sreply/3568 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 17:38:03 GMT http://ultralightflyfishing.yuku.com/reply/3559/t/Favorite-light-reel.html#reply-3559
Can you hook me up with a few links where to find the particulars and some pictures of these UL reels.....Forbes, Avon, Youngs, etc.

Some are old stock - new stock - hard to find....I need some help.

This is exciting..........building to a certain weight goal.

go ahead and swiss cheese the frame to minimize weight
A bar stock foot with two holes drilled in it would help with weight also.
Use a small diameter turned wood handle

That would probably suffice for a light reel. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (flyflingerandy1) http://ultralightflyfishing.yuku.com/sreply/3432 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 20:39:44 GMT http://ultralightflyfishing.yuku.com/reply/3426/t/Favorite-light-reel.html#reply-3426
I'm a simple guy.....

Must haves?.....

#1. Under 2.0 ozs - preferably under the weight of a J A Forbes 2" Avalon at 1.6 oz.
#2. Exposed palming rim for control.
#3. I like an outbound audible clicker....inbound I can take or leave.
#4. I don't really see the need for an adjustable drag...click-pawl is ok with me.
#5. I like the looks of the drilled reel foot ala J A Forbes Avalon 2".
#6. I like "cushy"... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (armyflyfisher) http://ultralightflyfishing.yuku.com/sreply/3426 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 19:15:17 GMT http://ultralightflyfishing.yuku.com/reply/3424/t/Favorite-light-reel.html#reply-3424
Help me out with some "must haves" you would like in your ideal "Field Test UL" - that will get me a head start - instead of guessing - then I can work on lightening this up.

Thanks

You need a tester to field-test the reel???

I am doing my best to make these match the size/cost of the high-end aluminum billet reels - it is no problem with the larger sizes 3/4 and up. But these smaller ones are going to be a challenge to meet the weight. I have tried to maintain the "look" throughout the family of sizes, but I might have to "Swiss cheese" these little ones a bit on the inside. The titanium is so strong I might go with 0.020" for the side plates with a large arbor.

A contrast and comparison of the available light fly reels readily avalable today. I'd love to see a side by side comparison of the Bass Pro Shop Classic ultralight....the J Austin Forbes Avon or Magnesium....the Sage clicker....the Dennison......and even a few "classic" reels like the Pflueger 1834 or Redington CT.

There's a wide price range between the Dennison and the Sage....I wonder about the performance differences?... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (armyflyfisher) http://ultralightflyfishing.yuku.com/topic/323 Wed, 31 Dec 2008 13:00:58 GMT
