- JJoebuck7 years agoRated 5 out of 5 starsExtremely nice reel for the cost.
I bought this reel this year to do some fly fishing with popping bugs this season.
I grew up fly fishing this way for bass and bluegill back in the 60's and 70's..
This 1195X reminds me so much of my old Shakespeare 1827 EC that I used for many years back in the day and still have.
I haven't used this reel yet but I have a feeling that with care, a fella could get many good seasons from it.
It came with a parts diagram showing basically how it comes apart, but I would suggest that the manufacturer should provide how newcomers should do routine maintenance on the reel.
These reels need to be cleaned and re-oiled on a regular basis because of all the scum and and floating substances that can be transferred from floating fly line back to the reels.

I bought this to replace the Kalamazoo NO. 1698 Model D that was my fathers and still is in working condition on his split bamboo fly rod.

Come to this automatic after having trouble with a Martin Auto. Enjoy it and is well-made. I'd recommend it to anybody who likes to fish for bluegills and largemouths.

I've used automatic fly reels for probably 60 of my 68 years. I've fished in many states and only use automatic. I've owned a fair number of them over the years and if I didn't think they were worth it, I wouldn't keep getting them. Not unusual to get a fair number of years out of them. I have several of them with varying line weights depending on where I'm going. DT3F and DT4F for brookies in the UP of MI and norther WI. DT6F and DT7F for western state streams. I catch over 1000 trout a year and have had very few problems with the reel.
