Hand Engraved Reels
Much like fly fishing, engraving takes time, patience and a lot of skill. We take pride in hand engraving and finely detailing these very special pieces.
The Viscount 150
The Hardy Bros Viscount is a classic reel. This particular reel now has a fresh lease on life. Proudly custom-designed and hand engraved by Jan. Featuring solid gold Tititipounamu/Rifleman who are often seen Streamside in the New Zealand back country.
Maybe you have a vintage reel you would like customised? Or are interested in buying a new custom reel? Check our available reels.
Panekire Bluff
For decades, Nick’s Grandfather moored his boat in Lake Waikaremoana. From which the mighty Panekire Bluff breaks the horizon. This reel was given to Nick with his first fly rod in 2003. It has become an ornament as rod designs have improved, and it is now even more special! Made in Japan, this reel has sat idle for many years, it now displays hand carved mountain ranges, a lake view and a solid gold hunting Rainbow Trout… Not to mention the tiny gold Mayfly resting into the film of the water.
