Get Cheeky... get reel...

Most have possibly noticed the steady and impressive rise of the Cheeky Team, who hit the fly fishing market with some impressive reels a couple of years back.  There is no escaping their steady climb up the slippy slope continues the move forward.  Strike, Ambush, Mojo, Thrash and Dozer certainly captivate the spirit of fly fishing, with 5 of the Cheekiest reels currently out their. 

The modern contemporary styling complete a terrific fresh approach in a market which is booming with product.  But if the designs are not to your particular taste then consider any of the range in striking silver which will match any outfit and occasion.

Super smooth and able to apply some slick pressure just when you need it.  Light weight, the reels compliment the latest  rods out there, so wither stalking the flats or climbing a mountain stream, these reels will provide you with a balanced outfit that you could carry all day.

BVK Reel - Temple Fork Outfitters

Saltwater fish demand a certain respect and will often test your equipment to the extreme.  On a recent trip I had armed one of my rods with TFO's superb BVK  ( Bernard Victor Kreh ) fly reel.  Beautifully machined,  the reel is a striking piece of equipment that looks so cool.  The large arbor is superlight and the spool nests perfectly into its housing allowing no movement to allow debris to interfere with the silky smooth running of the spool.

Able to tame the most explosive of fish the fully sealed drag applies tons of prefectly timmed pressure via a large yet sleek adjuster that even the largest of hands can locate in an instant. Not to mention the retrieval, the massive arbor makes light work when taming any searing runs or turns, putting you in control in an instant.
Well balanced and expertly proportioned this beautiful reel should be on your list of ones to own.
Enjoy your fishing and the experience.    

Sonik XKR 5/6/7

Sonik have certainly hit the spot with their new range XKR Reels - Large arbor with a V shape spool, (to ensure an even line lay) the reel is produce from bar stock aluminium.  A tone of gunmetal and gold highlights add the most perfectly balanced style to a beautiful piece of engineering.
The spool change is a quick affair by unscrewing the central nut , give a firm pull and bingo... push back and the spool beds in without any movement around the housing.

A fully adjustable drag is pretty well protected from the elements and it delivers the most taming smooth application of pressure, controlled by a large knob which enables easy instant adjustment during your fight should you require.
The reel was delivered for left hand wind but changing to right is achieved swiftly and without the need of any tools- excellent if coaching or providing clients with equipment to use.
Supplied in a neoprene case and with size options the reel offers excellent value and looks and feels a million dollars,  a great buy for the price.
