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 ?

[Hamish Young]

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....

She has given up trying to stop my tackle fetish 

was thinking up to about £200.....

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

Funky looks but not colour. Was playing with one the other day, rather nice. http://www.visionflyfishing.co.uk/reel_vxo.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

[James Laraway]

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

[James Laraway]

[Derek Roxborough]

perhaps mikes range of reels might be funky enough? Derek Roxborough

[James Laraway]
