IJUIN-ROD - KINEYA Cavous Reels Now Available

It's been awhile since I've highlighted the masterful fly reel making of KINEYA in Japan but a post on social media this week from Ijuin-Rod of their limited supply of Cavous Reels was a good reminder.  I cherish the couple of fly reels that I have from KINEYA as they are truly something special. 

A search on T.F.M. highlights some past posts that are fun to scroll through on these fly reels.

One of these would be perfect for that three or four weight that you're looking to use this spring...
 

A few notes from Tomo of Ijuin Rod on these fly reels...

"The KINEYA Cavous is a punch press design like was produced and distributed in the United States in the early 20th century which was full of fun.  This design was refined and revived for this 2024 release.  With a classic style it looks beautiful with a fly rod and fish. 

The line capacity of a DT3F or DT4F is roughly 30 yards.  It has a diameter of 62mm, spool diameter of 56mm, and width of 25.4mm.

These are offered at a price of $420 with shipping to the USA that is $42."
