Thank You Regards Bigfish Wish I could assist you Bigfish, but don't know the answer to this. Can I suggest that you take your rod(or is it the reel?) into say the GAC or some where local? and try the reel subject of course to its availability. I assume that you are hoping to purchase this reel/rod? and if its from a retailer that you can't visit, give them a call and let them check this out for you. This way if it doesn't fit on their say so, you might be able to return the reel / rod?. I had a problem with my Mitchell spinning reel and I had to remove a small amount from the reel foot to allow the sliders over it, and a wee touch of black paint and looked as if it was made that way. Drastic I know for a fly reel, but if your stuck and last resorts and all that!!!  |

Thank You Regards Bigfish I have never heard of any problems with the Snowbee XS reel. It is more often the case of older Hardy Salmon reels that tend to be a bit big for some modern salmon fly rods tweedbunnet |

Hi All, thanks to everyone for their input. To cut a long story short ,The opportunity arose to update my reels, as after I bought a couple of XTs ,I found my Mag 200ds and old 812s would just fit, but were loose on the rods after securing. The owner of the 11/12 took the time and trouble to phone Snowbee,who confirmed that the11/12 would fit all modern rods. So if the post service behaves, I will be the new owner in a couple of days. Canny wait for it to come,it is reported to be in mint condition with a spare spool ,backing on both, and the original leather pouches. Maybe I should have waited for feedback, but perhaps this report might help someone else. Thanks again Regards Bigfish |
