noisey reels

You could try the 1535 out of the same Young's stable:

or if you have a little more to spend, I would recommend a Hardy wide-drum Perfect in 3 3/4" size.

Some may go for the Hardy Taupo.....

Second that. I have a Bougle that I love as well as a perfect. If you don't care where they're made, you can try a Hardy Cascapedia. Great, beautiful reels (made in Korea though.

I haven't seen or heard one in person, but the Farlex reels look sweet!

I have one of the Cascapedia reels bought before they shifted production to South Korea, they have a nice buzz to them but are by no means a loud reel. The Perfects are about as clangorous a reel as I could want. I have a 4 1/4 that is like an alarm system when I am stripping line or when a fish is running hard. The Taupo is a bit more reserved but still puts up a fuss when line is torn from the spool.

Why on earth do you want a noisy reel? Just curious.

On my lighter / switch rods my Hardy St John reels really "shout" when a good fish sets off.

A friend of mine has a Speyco reel (pre hexad version) & I must admit that does make an impressive noise!

And they say there is no such thing as a dumb question:chuckle:

If your price point is a bit lower like mine you could look at the marquis as well, mine screams! It does have aftermarket springs but it's a good simple cheaper reel

Loud reels save lives.

Right 'tip?

I have an early Speyco with the titanium bar drag...crazy loud...and awesome! Have one in 4" and another in 4 1/4". Also have another 5 or so of the more recent hexad drag reels from Speyco and all sound beautiful to my ears.

Right you are Dana.

3 3/4 perfect, though I think a 4 in would be better in that line weight.
Farlex- I just wound one at Poppy's- loud with an echo chamber.
Speyco.

Speyco!! The sound is something to be had! I have had many people say that is a machine!! The sound it puts off on a hot fish is nothing but memories!😃

loud reels

What? I can't hear you!

This is an interesting thread. I was asked by Heron more than a few times so I am taking his advice and I am re-issuing my titanium check. This will be an option in my 4" symmetry series ,Skagit, Skandi, and Spey in the S handle versions only. No worries the Hexad system will still be available as well as I love the sound and feel.

So if others are interested in getting a really REALLY REALLY off the charts loud reel just email me. I will get a few shots of this and post a few photos this next week as it is a beefed up version of my 2007 reels but it will have a few "upgrades" from the OG.

Ja Browning, you are right there is no such thing as a dumb question. But there are certainly dumb answers!! I have over 40 fly reels. Some loud, some silent. They all hold line and retrieve line. I have never seen the benefit of a loud reel. Maybe if I fell asleep standing up to let me know a fish had taken the fly.

I have a Silex too and love it. I also love my Ross 3, 3.5, S-1 and S-3 silent reels. To me it is the function of the reel, not the sound of it. I am just curious why some people like a loud reel?
