Over the past few years I have had many different fly reels. When I heard that TFO was coming out with a BVK Reel to match the BVK rod, I knew I would have to get my hands on one. I picked one up from my local TFO dealer (Florida Paddlesports) out of Cape Coral, Florida. At first glance I could tell this was going to be a quality reel. Made of machined bar stock aluminum and ported to eliminate excess weight the BVK reel is light weight and durable. The super large arbor design allows for faster line pick up and I found that there is less memory in the fly line as well. No need to stretch your fly line before casting. The maintenance free drag system is very smooth and has plenty of force to stop that big Snook or Redfish. The drag adjustment knob is very easy to find and adjust while fighting a fish. The BVK is also easily converted from left hand to right hand retrieve.
Specs:
TFR BVK SLA III TFO BVK Super Large Arbor Reel III Diameter 4.10" Width 1.30" Weight 5.2 oz. Line Cap. 205 yards/20lb./WF8F

For the quality and price I would recommend the TFO BVK reel series for both beginners and professional fly anglers.
