| The Contented Angler "A Genuine Fly Shop" |
| We have been extremely impressed with the Cortland products of the last few years. The Brook rods will hold their own against any rod today and the Sterling Mid Arbor reel is one of our favorites. Cortland was smart to realize the new appreciation people have for the click/pawl reel. The new Cortland Retro Reel is a fitting compliment to your bamboo or favorite dry fly rod. The Retro has a silky adjustable tension click made to protect fine tippets and an exposed rim for palming. Retro Reel 1: 3 - 4wt. Retro Reel 2: 4 - 5wt. Price: $129.95 |

| This feature packed beauty starts as a solid billet of 6061T6 aluminum. It's then machined to exacting tolerances and hard anodized for lifetime durability in fresh- or saltwater. Then they add a fully enclosed, center mounted Rulon disc drag that will protect 7X tippets or stop a bonefish's sizzling run. An exposed rim lets you palm the counterbalanced, quick release spool for even more control. The knurled bar stock drag knob is slip proof, even with wet, slimy, or cold fingers. Mid-Arbor design gives you maximum line capacity but still has all the benefits of rapid retrieve and reduced line coiling. A lifetime warranty protects your investment, and best of all, there's a Cortland Mid-Arbor for every angler and every fish! This reel is high on our list. It has a very nice action, nice drag selection and everything you want at a reasonable price. |
