This Gear Roll is a slick design that holds my waders, boots, net, fly rod tubes and other stuff like my belt, wading staff and more when I travel

But since nothing is ever perfect, the Shimano has a significant drawback: the number of ball bearings

The original No.200 Biltwell, the ONLY level-winding version of this model ever produced, was made sometime between 1923 and 1928 (our earliest catalog is from 1929 and it doesnt list the No.200)

If backlashes persist with proper technique, check the spool bearing, a worn bearing can cause the spool to spin too freely

I am not set up for large-scale production but can-do orders of up to 30-40 builds on a case-by-case basis
