Making my own fly reel has been on my retirement bucket list for years. Turned 70 this year and figured I better get busy if I ever wanted to build one. I contemplated an old style brass reel, but decided to take a different path. I am not a trained machinist, just a hack,, so be easy on me! Note this pic was taken prior to installing the red phenolic handle and counter weight.
