Al Bellinger, who is best known for his gorgeous reelseats, is featuring a high-end traditional reel that should be consistently available without long waiting periods. Called the Classic, these reels are close to perfection. They have the beautiful traditional look, and have sidebands made from polished aluminum and stainless pillars. The sideplates are Delrin and the spools are aluminum, bronze, and stainless. Even the screws are stainless. The gear and pawl click is nonadjustable, but it is convertible from RH to LH. Each reel comes with a velveteen bag but can also be ordered with a custom-fitted Arne Mason hard case for $240.00. All three sizes are available now. The Classic model replaces the Nickel/silver which is sold out and will not be made again. They are essentially the same reel except for the polished aluminum replacing the nickel/silver. Right now, Bellinger also has its Classic salmon reel available, which will be very similar to the other Classic models except it's 3.5" in diameter and will have an actual drag. The same reel in a 4.5" spey version is also available now. These have solid Delrin sideplates. Al has released his Gear & Pawl version of the 4.5" Spey. It essentially has an enhanced (stronger) version of the non-adjustable gear and pawl found on the trout models. He is also working on a four inch version of this reel. The 4" version of both the Gear and Pawl and Drag reel is now available. I'll have that one on the table below as soon as the information is available. Bellinger is also doing a small run of nickel/silver trout reels in the 3" size. Prices aren't available yet, but contact me soon if you're interested. I'll include that one on the table below as soon as I have more information.
