Why there is not reels from Shimano ? It got tough quality too!

Since we are considering the quality and price (Shimano got a ridiculously price), so Shimano is not included. However, we will try to get a review on it soon!

Can you recommend me some fly fishing reels? I prefer fly fishing reel rather than spinning reel and Baitcasting reel!
Andy Cullen says
In fly fishing reels, the Piscine Aluminum Fly Fishing Reel is a great option The backing capacity of this reel is 20 lbs. The strong aluminum helps to ensure that the reel holds up when you are pushing the limits.
Also, there are two different colors, and you can choose to purchase just the spool.
You can also order either the AOKA version or the Grey Fly version. The AOKA is a ⅞ reel while the Grey is a ⅚. Both options also come with a drawstring bag to protect your reel. The most important thing is, this fly fishing reel is extremely reliable, and rarely being damaged.
If you are looking for a second option, the Fiblink Fly Fishing Reel with Large Arbor is another great choice.
