I just picked up a "used" Bill Ballan Heirloom reel for 3/4 wt. This reel is an absolute POS. It shows wear, scratches from what looks like someone tried to open the reel to work on it. But besides that, the original workmanship on the reel is deplorable. The screws going through the reel ar not even flush on the other side. This reel actually looks like it was made in China.
I'm going to see if the guy will take it back. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up because the same seller has a bunch of them. It may be Bill Ballan, I can't tell. And Bill Ballan has disappeared as well.
