I've wanted to offer fly reels to go along with my rods for quite a while now. All along I wanted to offer Kineya reels but Mass stopped producing them a few years ago with no promise of reintroduction. Occasionally I would ask him to make reels for me and the only response would be laughter. After I move to North Carolina, this past fall, I asked him again and he agreed. I was ecstatic! After waiting for what seemed like a lifetime they are here.

I am initially offering the Kineya 300a, 300b, 301a and 301b reels. More styles will come, with patience.

You can find more information and pictures on my website here:

The addition of these reels to your already remarkable lineup of rods really sets you apart.

Congratulations Chris!

Great news Chris. I'm glad that you were able to persuade him to make reels again. You shouldn't have too much trouble selling them.

How in the blazes did you convince the master to make reels? Wow!
I have three of his reels - worth every cent.

That is GREAT NEWS Chris ! These reels are fairly heavy and thus counter balance many glass rods well !

Kineya not making reels any longer for this market.......In my mind a testament to the guy you are, and the respect you garner and deserve. Kudo's to Mass, and to you Mr. Barclay! Will you bring a couple to Coulee C? I'd love to handle one.

Maybe you should also bring a Bucket O' Reels to Michi Glass. You'd probably sell a few of those to all the cane guys coming this year now that it will be Michi Grass too!

Love the classic look. Would definitely be at home on both glass and cane.
