Iwana RETRO Trout Reels
SKU: NFD9192

Bogdan started making this style of reels in 1955, and they were very popular with anglers at that time. Many anglers still love these reels, even though he stopped making them a decade ago. We are bringing classic reels back to get more anglers to use Bogdan-style reels and providing them with good after-sales service. We believe that great reels should not be displayed in a cabinet but taken to the river to go fishing.

IWANA pays more attention to the stability of production and quality. We respect benchmade but not obsessed with 100% hand-made.Being the innovator in the classic reel design and manufacturing, we determine to bring the new and the old together, a fusion of sorts that will bring out the best of both worlds. The classic true and tested design, coupled with modern materials and advance CNC tooling system, IWANA has successfully achieved high degree of consistency and accuracy while maintaining top level of craftmanship. The same high standard can be seen in every IWANA reel that leaves the production line. The marriage of high tech tools and excellent craftmanship equates to the reduction of cost and time, making the IWANA range of classic reels affordable.

About Shaojie and Liang

Liu Shaojie, born in a family of construction machinery manufacturing, has developed a keen interest and talent in machinery and handwork since his childhood. Later, he went to University of Rochester in the United States. When he first arrived in the US in 2011, he saw Bogdan’s salmon reels in a second-hand fishing gear store and fell in love with this artistic work at first sight. Unfortunately, the famous classic reel maker (or artist) Bogdan passed away at the same year. To honor this artist, Liu Shaojie launched the first salmon reel re-engraved with Bogdan’s work in 2013 after dozens of improvements, and it has been loved by many salmon fishermen in North America and Europe. Since then, Liu Shaojie has established his own classical fish reel studio and has continuously improved the craftsmanship of classical reel.

In 2019, in Minami Alps National Park, Japan, Liu Shaojie and Wang Liang met each other beside a beautiful river with a lot of iwana fish. Based on the shared passion for fly fishing and classic equipment, the two became close friends. Wang Liang was born in the mountains of northeast China. He was withdrawn when he was a child and didn’t like playing with his peers. On the contrary, he likes to make friends with old fishermen by the river and talk about how to catch more big fish in different seasons. Northeast China is rich in natural resources, and fishing became the only extracurricular activity in Wang Liang’s childhood. Such a childhood not only established an infinite love for nature , but also gave him an extraordinary feeling for fish and rivers. He has explored his own handmade fishing tools since he was a child, studied fish habits, and used natural rules and common materials to invent fishing traps. Successfully catching more fish is the source of his excitement. After many years, he walked out of the mountains, experienced the hustle and bustle city life and the business competition, finally chose a quieter life, picked up the fishing rod again, and began to search for beautiful rivers from all over the world.

In 2020, Liu Shaojie and Wang Liang named their classic fishing reel brand “IWANA” because iwana was the first fish they caught together. Then, based on Bogdan’s product prototype, they built three classic fish reels one after another to deal with the small and medium-sized fish in the stream. They strive to revitalized more classical equipment based on the classic design and make them more suitable for modern people and modern equipment to use.

More classic reel that has been put in the collection cabinet is being brought back to the river by IWANA.

Winston Microspey Air 2 Fly Rods
SKU: NFD9434

Lightweight Precision. Effortless Presentation. Two-handed Trout Performance.
Introducing the new Microspey AIR 2, utilizing our new, high-performance AIR 2 boron/graphite materials to provide anglers an unbelievably lightweight and responsive action that allows for ultimate presentation and faster line speeds to out-perform cast after cast. With an overall lighter weight, faster recovery, smoother connection, and sweeter feel, the Microspey Air 2 provides extraordinary feedback through the cast and swing. This small series of trout-centric spey rods provides incredible performance when adding movement to swung flies, increased line control, and unrivaled feel when fighting trout-sized fish. All rods include a logo rod sock and a graphite rod tube. Made in Twin Bridges, Montana.

ACTION: Medium-Fast. Winston feel with faster blank recovery for better control in wind and at distance.

MATERIAL: Boron III Technology in the grip-section, with AIR 2 S-2000 Graphite throughout all sections.

GRIP: : Newly designed special Microspey 11″ thin diameter fore-grip, with longer 4” bottom grip.

GUIDES: TiCH finished stripper guide with nano plasma ring. Special chrome snake guides. Oversize tip-top.

SECTIONS: 4

STORAGE: Premium Graphite Tube and Logo Rod Sock.

MANUFACTURED: Designed and Handcrafted in Twin Bridges, Montana, USA.

MICROSPEY AIR 2 — 10’9” 2WT.
The 2wt is our shortest model that is a sweet Scandi caster yet is more than capable of launching heavier Skagit heads and sinking tips. This this is a perfect small-river rod, or a bigger river stick when skating caddis, or presenting soft hackles. We like a 210 grain Skagit or a 180 grain Scandi. Add 8-10’ sinking or poly leaders that ring in the 80-grain range.

MICROSPEY AIR 2 — 11’ 3WT.
The do-it-all member of the family. From flashy sculpins on the Missouri, to swinging tandem soft hackles of the West Branch of the Delaware, this 3wt is up for the task. Capable of both long and short casts, it also pairs well as a great indicator rod for stillwater applications. Line it with a 240 grain Skagit, or a 210 grain Scandi with 10’ of T-10 for sink tips.

MICROSPEY AIR 2 — 11’3” 4WT.
Built with extra-power for bigger casts and flies, the 11’3” 4wt is the perfect choice for big water fishing. This powerful rod is ready for aggressive Skagit heads yet will handle longer lines utilizing touch-and-go techniques for ultra- smooth performance. A 300 grain Skagit or 275 Scandi, paired with 10’-12’ tips, are a sweet match for this amazing rod.

Ultimate two-hand performance
Designed with the help of renowned Spey caster Brian Silvey, AIR TH rods were tested on the most challenging steelhead, salmon, and sea-run brown trout fisheries in the world. Powerful, lightweight, and responsive, they are regarded as “the choice” for serious two-handed angling. AIR TH rods are available in variety of weights and lengths to cover all casting styles and the full spectrum of Skagit and Scandi grain windows. All come with our graphite tube and logo rod sock.

ACTION: Medium-Fast.

GRIP DESIGN: 13” spey grip with 4 ½ inch bottom grip. 12’ 5wt get 11’ Microspey grip width.

REEL SEAT: Charcoal Gray anodized lightweight aluminum with double downlocking aluminum rings.

GUIDES: Satin finished stripper guide with Silicon Nitride ring. Hard chrome snake guides.

SECTIONS: 4.

STORAGE: Premium Graphite Tube and Logo Rod Sock.

MANUFACTURED: Designed and Handcrafted in Twin Bridges, Montana, USA.

5wt: SKAGIT 390-420 GR. / SCANDI 360-400gr.
Anglers needing a crossover rod for trout and light steelhead should consider this for their summer steelhead and big trout river needs. Tip recommendations: 10 feet of T8 – T10, 10’ poly leaders

6wt: Skagit 420 -450 gr. / Scandi 390-420gr.
Built in 12’6” and 13’3” tapers, both offer a lighter touch for steelhead. The classic 12’6” adds versatility to both Skagit and dry line applications. The 13’3’ is the perfect winter steelhead rod, that can get smaller flies in the strike zone. Tip recommendations: 10 feet of T8 – T10, 10’ poly leaders

7wt: Skagit 510-525 gr. / Scandi 450-480gr.
The 12’3” model lends itself to tight spots and heavy tips on smaller steelhead water and our classic 13’3” taper, is arguably the most versatile spey rod ever created. Tip recommendations: T8-14 10’-12’

8wt: Skagit 540-570 gr./ Scandi 480-510gr.
These powerful 8 weights appeal to 2 different fishing applications. The 13’3” appeals to the shorter Skagit and Scandi lines and tips. The 14’6” is our traditional long-belly option for fishing greased lines, or longer Scandinavian shooting heads. Tip Recommendations: T10-14, 10-14’

9wt: Skagit 540-570 gr. / Scandi: 510-540gr.
An amazingly light and responsive rod but built with extra power to handle giant king salmon. This rod casts the big flies on heavy Skagit lines needed to land the most powerful fish that swim from the ocean into the river. Tip Recommendations: T12-18, 10-12’
