| About LH Design fly reels |
Leen Huisman of LH design produces hand made titanium fly reels that are the ultimate marriage of craftsmanship, art and technical expertise. Each reel is entirely handmade to special order. Leen takes his craft seriously and will not allow anything less than perfection to leave his workshop. Commitment to maintaining the highest quality means the normal waiting time for one of these reels is 10-12 months, though that will vary. Various engraving and colouring options are available to order including your name or initials, favourite fly, or even family crest! The range covers every fly fishing situation from light trout to salmon, pike, sea trout or saltwater. The smaller reels feature either Leen’s phosphor bronze or delrin Syntex drag system in the series A and B reels or click and pawl in the series AA and BB reels. The sapphire (series E) reels are only available with a click and pawl drag. These reels are the lightest of the range; they come with both a titanium spool and a P.E.I high performance plastic spool. Designed for light trout fishing, these reels are visually stunning and our shop favourite! The larger reel series feature either the Syntex drag in the D series or the new sealed graphite and carbon fibre drag system in the new Silver Shadow salt water reel series. This year (2007) Leen will start to replace the Syntex drag with the new carbon fibre system throughout the entire reel range (with the exception of the series AA and BB reels). All of Leen’s reels are fitted with a generously sized spool so that they will often take a line size larger than specified, if required. As a result of the inherent qualities of titanium the larger reels represent a significant weight saving over aluminum reels of an equivalent size. This quality obviously does not come cheap but for those that can afford them still represent value for money! Leen will be starting production again early in 2007, after a short break. He is currently sourcing and pricing a new supply of titanium; and once this is done we will be able to offer advice on prices. If you are interested in owning one of these reels, please contact us to discuss your requirements. All reels are available in left and right hand wind. |
