Not quite yet. While we have a reasonable market for bigger reels, the market for bigger rods is actually much smaller. We'll get there, but there are other things we need to finish development on first.

Nice real, what materials are in the drag? Can you post a video of the reel? Need a reel for my 8wt was looking at a galvan torque but this reel would look awesome on my bvk.
It's a sealed cork drag. We went with cork due to the smoothness it has when the drag is tightened down. The downsides of cork aren't an issue when it's sealed off, so we think we hit the best of all worlds with this combo.

I plan to do a video showing the reel in the near future. I'm still moving in to my new office, so I'll have everything operational hopefully in the next week.

Though the red and green colour-way isn't my favourite, based on previous experience with Allen reels and their customer service, I'm sure this is going to be a hit, and with a fully sealed drag for that price, it should be.
My questions are these:
a) Any other colours planned for the future?
and b) Anodized?
