Original Battenburg LA is a nice reel, regret getting rid of mine. Much more like it Iain although the orange backing cheapens the look of it somewhat
Matt, I just tend not to comment if something Orvis comes up that is not my cup of tea, life is easier that way
Not keen on the Demon reel although it is probably the best cartridge reel out there right now, serves a purpose but not a cartridge fan. Don't like plastic shit stuck inside my reel.
