It is a very nice reel. I posted ads with it yesterday on two other sites (along with a tying vice) and had several people write back stating that they had the 789FLO (one used it for bonefish one for salmon) and loved the reels. One guy said he caught over 50 bonefish with it on a trip to the tropics and it performed flawlessly. I'd never handled a FlyLogic product before I purchased this one but the quality is obvious when you see it. I'd be happy to meet you sometime and let you check it out. Possiblity for a little flexibility on the price but not alot.
I picked up the reel in Anchorage last summer on my way home from Alaska along with an 8 weight Loomis. My wife had already bought me a different reel for my birthday and surprised me with it a couple weeks later. To keep peace, I just stuck this one in the closet (never used) and used hers. I realy don't need two in the same weight range.
