Anglers Of The Au Sable Fly Reel

Chris Reister of Willow Classic Reels sent along information recently of a special edition fly reel that he helped create for the 25th Anniversary of Anglers of the Au Sable.

"Willow Classic Reels donated this reel to help them raise money and also wanted to pass along that we will build up to twenty-five of these reels on a first come first serve basis.  The reel has a black lacquer back ground with the authentic 25^th Anniversary pin placed in the back face.  It can be ordered in size 4/5 or 5/6 which best fits most of the need in this size range.  

This is definitely a collectors must have.  The cost of these reels is $800 each and Willow Classic Reels will donate $200 from the sale of each of these reels to Anglers of the Au Sable."
