I like high end equipment as well, and if I had an extra $5G's laying around, I'd have a Bogdan! Bogdan died several years ago and his son took over the business. Quite a few years ago, there was an awesome sporting goods company called Hunter's Supply. I believe they were in New York. I placed an order, hoping they could fill it in a year or 2. It never happened and I cancelled my order a few years later, just before they started shipping! I believe, at the time, they were like $695. Which was a lot of money at the time.

Here is my big reel that I fish Steelhead and Salmon with. The same company that makes the high quality Regal Vises! These were originally sold through T&T, and used both names on them...
