I have a Ross that I got ripped on a few years back on the banks of the Catawba. But it has been bomb proof.

I have mostly Ross reels, and a couple of Lamsons i just picked up, not sold on them yet.
But the best freshwater reel made today is Galvan, look on most guides rods and you'll see a Galvan. Best by far freshwater reel made today.

New member of the forum here. I love fly fishing gear almost as much as the fishing itself! So I love this section of the forum.

I voted "other". My current favorite reel is the Teton line. I have a couple of Teton Tiogas that have suffered all kinds of abuse and still work perfectly. Very smooth drag too. Sadly Teton is out of production and looking for a new buyer.

I also own a couple of Ross reels that I like OK. I'm intrigued by the Lamson line of reels. A konic may be in my future.

Thanks,

Greg

O.K. i got my first Galvan for christmas, it is a great reel. I used to be a Ross fan but i dont think ross has the quality of the Galvans.

Did Teton ever get rid of the slop in the spindle?
What blew it for my ever buying a Teton is when they came out with 'large arbor' spools for their frames.
They were large arbor alright! They just had a larger diameter arbor in the center which did but two things... make for groovy marketing and reduce the amount of line those reels could carry.

Besides that, rumor has it they're either out of business or on the brink.

No Henschel here? Check them out at your next FF show. I have personally seen these reels stand up to punishing abuse, I am talking about someone taking a hammer to them, and the type III anodize not fail.
