Michael Hackney has been diligently working on a new design for a 3D printed fly fishing reel for well over two years now. Hackney recently completed a new design that incorporates his criteria, including a nice design, low and easy-to-print (with PLA) part count, a click check, and compatibility with modern fly fishing seats. He has gone through two phases of prototype development, and his latest has been tested. Like fly fishing itself, Hackney's pursuit of the perfect 3D printed reel is never ending, and we look forward to his next update.
