The brain child of Ian Gordon, this outstanding salmon reel was developed and tested to meet Ian’s strict requirements.
Ian loves the tradition, simplicity and sound of classic click and paw reels and wanted this reel to share this design with a modern twist.
We added fly reel experts Colin Harvey and Gary Mills into the equation and produced the reel with their extensive experience and manufacturing skills.
The reel and all its components are manufactured in the UK, even down to the screws and springs!
After 12 months testing several prototypes, after a few minor adjustments, Ian approved the reel for production.
The modern materials and design has helped produce a lightweight and robust reel that balances perfectly our modern double handed fly rods.
The exposed rim on the spool allows excellent control and pressure to be applied to the reel when playing fish.
The reel is supplied with a high-quality and bespoke leather reel case also manufactured in the UK by a master saddler and keen salmon fisherman Robin Coleman.
