This is Not Your Fathers Fly Reel

At this time of year I start thinking of new tackle I may need for the up coming fishing season. It may be that I have some extra Christmas money to spend but mostly its wishing it was Spring and I could be heading out to one of my local spots to wet a line. For me, reels are always on the list it seems and when I was Googling for whats new for 2015 in fishing reels, I came across Michael Hackney. Michael prints fly reels from a 3D printer. Yes, I said prints! What's even cooler is that this is only the start of what we'll see in the fishing world thanks to 3D printing. I highly recommend watching the documentary Print the Legend It's pretty damn cool! f you're interested in buying a 3D reel (or getting the plans to print your own), visit Michael's site, Eclecticangler.com
