Make a scotch tape dispensor?

I have two JAF reels that size. I use them for small dream rods 66 inches long.

So there's this Facebook page called "Fly Fisherman". At first, I thought it was an official FB page for Fly Fisherman magazine-which is certainly not the case.

I ordered a "machined aluminum fly reel for 5/6 weight line". Cost $25.00 (plus $12 for shipping). I figured even if it sucks, how bad could it be for that price? Little did I know how bad it would really be.

This is what showed up today from China. Not one, but TWO absurd, useless pieces of shit for $37. YAY!!! That's a normal 16oz can of Rockstar for scale.

You can post on their page, write a review, etc.

Want to make a huge profit? Label them American Girl fly reels and mark them up to $100 each. As father of a daughter, I can confidently say I've bought things worth less and paid more. Those will feel like a bargain!

That is so funny! I showed my wife this thread and she said to sell them for American Girl dolls. Then 2 min later I read your post. How in the world did two people come up with that idea?

Haha those are ridiculous but could be useful on some kind of ultra light setup. Like a 1 or 2 weight glass rig. Use one to build a tooth floss dispenser in your bathroom?

I did. They removed it.

 

[Breck]

Hahaha! That was my exact first thought!

Why would the manufacturer even go to the expense and effort to produce something like this?

Because they can. I have a fully functional reel that measures 1-3/16"

Hahaha! That was my exact first thought!

What is that picture from?

 

[Jim F.]

It could have been worse . . .

 

[SaltyTippet]

Make them into Christmas ornaments....

What is that picture from?

Spinal Tap.

I tell ya, I've had it up to here with midgets.

I would figure out a way to use them just because. Ice fishing maybe.

Perfect for hanging off the rear view mirrow

 

[Breck]

Sold them to a fellow WFFer who really seemed to want them. I hope he is able to put them to some sort of good use.

I've seen them that small before. Some of the old timers in the club have reels that small. And yes, micro-rods made out of old Boo.

That's my new nickname for you: "Old Boo".
