Tiny Baetis mayflies are perhaps the most commonly encountered and imitated by anglers on all American trout streams due to their great abundance, widespread distribution, and trout-friendly emergence habits.
Wbranch, the company is based in TX. They produce quality reels, for a great price. I don't appreciate and I am sure they don't either you calling them cheap knock offs. You could and probably should have left it at no I have never heard of them. To me they are the equivalent to TFO, is TFO a cheap knock off, no they are affordable and highly effective. If the product works for you then great if it doesn't there is no need to belittle anyone. I don't like sage rods, I simply don't cast them well but does that mean they are a bad company? All I ask as a Fly Fishing Professional is please try and be Professional.

Nope I've never heard of Allen fly reels but they are probably one of dozens of knock off fly reels being made in China. I needed a 8/9 large arbor last year and found a gorgeous reel on Ebay called the "Clark". Very nice black gloss finish with a red drag mechanism on the inside like the Nautilus reels. Personally for my limited salt water usage it is a great reel that cost me $99.00. The drag is infinitely variable via a knurled knob on the housing and it sufficiently strong enough to turn powerful salt water fish like permit and horse eye jacks.
Wbranch doesn't seem to be belittling them. He says they are likely a cheap knock off,
Kyle, You are also misquoting me when you came to my aid but I do appreciate your standing up, and supporting me.
