Soon Bellinger will offer to market the new Mark I salmon reel, which will be very similar to the Mark I 3.25″ Wide reel except it will be 3.5″ in diameter and will have an actual drag. The Nickel/Silver models are also available with wooden amboyna side plates and with gorgeous polymer imitations of ivory, hard rubber, or tortoise shell. These reels will be in strong demand.
Bellinger fly reels can purchased on the Internet from fishing supply wholesalers. And if you order the fly reels from some Internet suppliers you might actually be able to jag free shipping and insurance depending on how much you spend in any one transaction.
