Here's what IMAGO have to say about the Gaia:
A unique reel in limited edition.
Together with the world-renowned fly reel designer Alex Kaplun, we have developed G A I A, named after Mother Earth in the Greek Mythology. It is a fitting name that reflects the distinctive design, which draw inspiration from the very history of flyfishing. The execution carries a craftsman’s precision in details – embodied in the fine tuned klick-drag break that allows you to fish with the finest of tippets and at the same time master the largest of fishes.
This is truly a unique fly reel and has already become a collector’s item by customers that recognize its inherent values. G A I A is through its fantastic craftsmanship, limited edition and timeless design – a fly reel to pass on for the next generation fly fishers. This beautiful reel embodies the philosophy of IMAGO; Quality, Feeling & Design.
