One of the finest reels I have ever fished. Great design, reliable and as good, if not better than comparable reels in the $3-4000 range. Highly recommended by someone who has fished in 18 countries worldwide. A big thanks to VR Reels for bringing back workmanship and quality to reel making.
Clay Holley –
This is a big boy reel and is made with excellence. I agree with the above that it punches well above its weight considering the price. Highly recommend!
Sean Hodgson –
The build quality of the reel is second to none, and it looks even better in the flesh. The drag is buttery smooth and the sound generated is loud enough to appreciate.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Vlad’s reels…. first class service and a first class product.

Buying one of Vlad’s reel is a out of this world experience, quality and craftmanship shines through in all aspect from initial communication to final delivery of the reel.
His ability to accommodate ‘personalisation and modification’ is a big deal maker for me, being made in titanium is the ultimate reel material.
His price is fair and I do see myself expanding more into VR Reels as first choice then recommending standard marketed fly reel products out there, especially now that I know he was behind many of HARDY’S reel design and manufacturing in the past decade or two(Trade Secret).
