Guideline Fario NT8 Grey

I was searching for a new reel mainly for my 6 and 7 weight rods. Found at ADH-Fishing this beauty. Very light, but still durable because of the closed reel cage, which makes the reel strong and prevents for example thin mono running lines or leaders from slipping through the gap between spool and reel. It’s super well machined and the color is damn sexy. 🤩
The brake works extremely smooth.
I spooled around 150m 0.22 braid as backing on it and a 7weight line and there is still a lot of space left. I already got the smallest size 24 of the Fario in bronze since some years and I’m very happy with it. So I’m sure the bigger brother will do a fantastic job as well.

Waterworks Lamson Litespeed 3 Micra 5

Got the opportunity to buy this Waterworks Lamson Litespeed 3 Micra 5 reel for a reasonable price. So I couldn’t resist. ;-)

Like in the past, I took some pictures of the reel just for fun and as a source of pictures, which are not taken by the manufacturer. Couldn’t say how it will perform, but the first impression is very good. Good brake, nice sound, well machined and with 140,25 gram super light.

I want to use it for sea trout fishing and for my streamer fishing at home with 6 and 7 weights. Hopefully, I will hear the brake „scream“ this season.



150 m of 58lbs J-Braid as backing should be more than enough.
