Hello all,
I was trying to get my mits on one of the flashy Alpha 5+ reels - but one month later they have failed to deliver...so i have asked for a refund.
im looking for something funky suitable for holding a Barrio #6 SLX
the orvis hydros in 'citros' looks nice...
any reccomendations ?
-
Does the colour need to be loud or are you after something that wee bit different :?
You might try this..... http://lts-flyfishing.uk/color.html
Or maybe one of these..... http://www.einarsson.com/?cat=plus-reels
Or even.... https://www.hatchoutdoors.com/ the purple one.... :z13

Still need to get my head around what it is you're after..... £200 will open a few doors.

Does it bollocks :! I just save, buy, sell, save, buy, sell.... etc until I can afford the toys I want :z18

Funky looks but not colour. Was playing with one the other day, rather nice. http://www.visionflyfishing.co.uk/reel_vxo.html
Reddington rise in orange if you want to burn your eyeballs https://www.fishingmegastore.com/fly-reels/redington-rise-iii-fly-reel~34258.html
Or for a true custom, try a Vossler as they have the option of having just about any of their reels custom coloured, http://www.vosseler.com/en/Fly-Reels/TRYST-Series/MagicColors.html
The Air-one in a custom colour would be pretty amazing! http://www.vosseler.com/en/Fly-Reels/AIR-One/
Or the Tryst http://www.vosseler.com/en/Fly-Reels/TRYST-Series/Tryst-WF-5-6-Fly-Reels.html

Don't forget you can have the frame and the spool different colours too...
I fancy a couple myself to tell the truth

I’ve just contacted them about different colour options for the frame and spool..watch this space !

Hmmmmmmm...I wonder if they would do an olive version...time for an email :)
-
would the colour make any difference Rob? :X2 Derek Roxborough

From an engineering point of view they are a work of art. I would love one.,..... just to put on my desk to look at...... and dream........

Then buy...they are not expensive :)

Of course...it would match my latest glass rod...and that will help catch fish! ;)
-
The colour options are black, silver, red, green, orange, blue, titanium...
-
and how much is a spare spool? Derek Roxborough
-
Spare spools from any of the high quality manufacturers is usually 50% of the price of the reel Derek.
I'm guessing it will be that.
Cheers

Rob, i have a *cough* green one on the way some time next week - you can see if it will match your rod.. :X2
-
Nice reels, not too expensive either and a bit different from what’s normally found in the shops.
Next reel I get is going to be a bright colour I think, love the red.
I also like the lime green on the Hydros SL.
-
It's a nice looking reel , but my dream was for a Dormisch Abse, but at the price a distant one, :z12 Derek Roxborough

No spares listed on the Vossler site for this range unfortunately. Other spools are as you say, about 50%.
