Van Staal C-Vex Fly Reels On The Tummel

Here's a rare occurance seeing 2 Van Staal C-Vex 11/12 fly reels side by side on the riverbank like this. Mike Helliwell who is the operations/general manager of Harrison rod builders in Liverpool owns the black version and the silver one is mine. In all my years on the river I've never seen a better built & designed salmon fly reel. I've used my own one for 6 years now and had some truly memorable battles which I still think about that this VS reel ate for breakfast !!!For more information on these seriously good and IMHO unbeatable reels Click here.
