Graywolf Model 1 Reel

Our pal, Shane of Graywolf Products and Services, has one of the most elegantly bomb-proof reels available. They are the perfect size and application for our light line glass rods at a very affordable price, and we're happy to offer them to folks hitting the streams with Trout Smiths rods.

Here's how Shane describes them:  

"Classic styling to outfit your finest cane and glass rods. Don’t let the value price fool you. The Graywolf Model 1 is skillfully crafted, high quality, classic fly reel, at a price point that you won’t be afraid to fish. 

"The frame + spool are aircraft grade aluminum along with styled black anodized side plates. Giving the model 1 a handsome retro elegance. At 4.9oz the Graywolf Model 1 balances perfectly on your favorite cane and glass rods. We find the sweet spot to be rods in the 2wt-4wt range. The clicker is medium strength. The directional winding bias is neutral, meaning that left or right hand wind out of the box.
