I'm in the market for a CP for my 3wt. While a beautiful reel, and one that was in the running, the sound, or lack there of, is a no go for me. Makes the Ross Colorado the current reel to beat.
Familiar with this reel and have Brookies in 2/3, 3/4, and 4/5. The 2/3 in Desert Sand paired especially well with a Trout LL 379-4. The clicker in the Brookie is a bit on the quiet side, but I find it more resonant than either the hollow metallic note of the Colorado or the plastic sound quality of the Asia produced Sage Click. One question regarding your review; did the latest version of the Brookie delete the allen key adjustable spool tensioner found on the earlier versions as you noted a lack of an adjustment in your review. Thanks in advance for your response.
Sooo many of these reels are just overpriced jewelry. On anything smaller that 7-8wt gear you're going to be targeting smaller fish that never run off on the drag of your real anyway! The functionality of these $300+ reals is IDENTICAL to cheaper composite reals. So much of this stuff is irrelevant anyway. Backing capacity?? I've caught a helluvalotta fish in my day and NEVER gotten into the backing, who cares about the backing capacity. Spend your money on good line, save everywhere else and don't tell the fish you're poor.
There are situations where having a good, smooth drag matters on yr 6wt. Carp, corbina, mullet, light bonefish. Of course you don't need to spend more than yr willing to, especially if it’s for a rod you’d throw a click nd pawl style reel on. Cheap or expensive, it’ll hold a fly line. Fish with whatever yr willing to spend. The difference is in the design, performance, craftsmanship, reliability, and a family owned business that loves what they do. Galvan remained true to their roots, they're a dying breed in a growing corporate industry.

There is a tension adjustment on the reel. It uses a very small allen key. I'm very surprised that you didn't know about this aspect of the reel.
Thanks for mentioning that.
That is just a Beautiful reel--Click or no Click it is really nice.
Galvan rules. Support the small fly fishing businesses that haven’t sold out to some soulless corporation.
