I've tied thousands of flies over 25 yrs and I wanted my own rotary one day. Your comments have been a great help. I really considered the Traveler (Orvis has them at 168.00), but, ended up with an Abel. It's well made, American, hefty, and easily changed from left to right hand. Plus, the makers, Steve and Gina, we're so accommodating. Please continue the tread - I've learned a lot from your experience and wisdom . . .
