From
Germany comes this high quality reel at a very attractive price.
It features all the "must-haves" in today's reel market:
large arbor design, light weight, rim control, easily changed spools,glossy
anodizing, and a smooth disc drag. I've used my S3 quite a bit recently
and the reel has performed flawlessly. It has enough drag to be
able to handle any freshwater fish and most saltwater species up
to about the one hundred pound tarpon range. The S3 will also make
a superb spey reel as it has enough capacity for speylines into
at least the 8/9/10 Windcutter class. I caught a weighed eight pound
bonefish on mine and as the fish took about eighty yards or so of
backing the drag purred right along. The drag is actually three
"buds" made of a composite material that come to bear
against a stainless disc. It really is hard to believe you can get
all this, manufactured in Germany, for under $400.00. I stock them in black, but titanium is available with a minimum wait. Vosseler also
has a neat looking fly tying vise that I now have in stock. It's $269.00. Call,
fax, or e-mail me for more information on any Vosseler product.
Because you've
shown a lot of interest in them, I've decided to also feature the
Vosseler DC series. This is a beautiful reel made more for freshwater
uses, though in the largest sizes will also function admirably in
the salt. It features anodized aluminum and a synthetic drag system
capable of handling any fish likly to be pursued with a reel of
this size. Easily interchanged spools and rim control are part of
the design. I have them in stock in the titanium finish, but black
and silver are also available. A standard arbor and a large arbor
spool are avaaible for each of the three sizes. The reel can be
ordered with either spool and spare spools of either style will
work on the same frame.
Note as of July 2, 2008: For various reasons I have decided that I am no longer going to carry the Vosseler reels. I have a significant inventory of the S series spare spools, DC series reels and spools, and even an RC model with a few spare spools in stock. These will be sold at 20% off the price shown below until they are gone. Contact me about the RC model (R3) and a vise or two I have in stock but which are not in the table below.
