I didnt know Bellinger got into the reel business.. not until I stumbled onto them on the auction site.
From there I found they sell everything : http://www.genuinebellinger.com/bamboo.html Wow. Has anyone ordered from them ? Brian

The craftsmen at Bellinger are very knowledgeable and supportive of bamboo rodmakers. They have a wide array of relevant, top-shelf products and equipment.
Very friendly and excellent customer service. It's always a treat to visit their shop.

I've ordered parts and services from Bellinger and the are a top notch organization. As far as reels, I know they have been in the business for over 10 years. Everone I ever worked with, including Bill Bennett and Al Bellinger, was very friendly and responsive. Troutwings - very nice!

The Bellinger company is a pleasure to do business with. Great products by great guys. All my rods have Bellinger reelsetas (or hardware, if I have a nice
piece of hardwood of my own at hand) and I also get my Pearsall´s silk from them. I have never been disappointed by the stuff.
Thanks, // Mats |

Yep, Bellinger offers a top class service to customers. They converted a reel for me last year free of charge, even though I was not the original owner. Great
company to deal with!

I also have a Bellinger reel (which I LOVE) and have dealt with Al and the boys on a couple of occasions. First-class all the way, and outstanding products and
service!
I've also fondled (sorry, no other word conveys my thoughts quite as well) one of their 7' 4wt cane rods......ummm....it made me drool, to say the least!

Recently picked up a new 7'-2" 4 wt. Bellinger rod that was custom made for the fly shop where I get most of my gear. This is my first bamboo rod and
I couldn't be more pleased. Have it paired with a Bellinger Mark I reel -- seems to be a perfect match. What I really like about this rod as compared to
others that I have considered is how much lighter in hand it feels.
BTW I have really enjoyed reading this forum over the last few months in trying to learn more about bamboo. |
