Did anyone see a pink 4 or 5 weight reel at the show? I bought a starter pink flyrod for my little girl off eBay and still need a reel.
Thanks

I built my girlfriend a pink rod... pink reels are rare but here's what I believe to be a complete list of brands that have them:
Elkhorn
Abel
Islander
dogwood canyon (bass pro)
The bass pro one is the only cheap one. I just went with a black and silver sage 2200 on hers.
PS did you get her the Ross Journey?

Went Friday. Got a great deal on some much needed grizzly hackle. Other than that, I found it to be pretty much the same show as a few years ago.
