G Loomis Current fly reel
Feb 12th 2010
Well after about 5 hours and lots of pit stops I finally made it to Miami for the Miami Boat Show. Nothing interesting to write about besides me complaining about the traffic etc.. so I’m skipping it for today.
I did get a chance to check out this new fly reel from G. Loomis. It’s called the “Current” I guess that is named after their highly reguarded fly rod series of the name Cross Current. I Googled it up and some of the descriptions says “It’s the Stella of the fly reel world”. (Stella spinning reels are considered the best in it’s class which is up there)
It is my opinion, I would have to disagree with that statement. Though the $400 fly reel looks and feels nice, craftsmanship wise it is definitely not the best I have seen in my young career as a fly fisherman. Me, personally it’s not a big deal but where the reel is made will turn many of the higher end fly reel customers. On the plus side, it does however come with an extra spool and the drag is waterproof. The extra spool alone can cost $200.00 on some of the higher end fly reels.

“River Poon Looking”
Last Saturday my friend Joe was in town, so we took a run up river to search for any pre – pre – season poons lying around….we confirmed only 3 fish so we just took a cruise looking at the many amazing homes that are up that far, very impressive to say the least. Nothing special with the photos…with back to back fronts producing freezing temps once again it has been hard to find anytime to get out ~ let the cold stop already!!!






Most of the day yesterday was spent running around trying to catch up on things. When I arrived home, at my door step, was a box of the new scented plastics from Mirro Lure.
