I have an islander reel. I had it for 24yrs. It the gold steelhead I love it . Very very smooth. And the quality is Amazing. U get what u pay for. Thank you for an amazing product. Keep up the Amazing work
I've had my Islander Steelheader reel for almost 15 years now, never had an issue with it. Can't begin to count the number of fish I've caught with it. Salmon, Steelhead, Browns, Lakers and even Smallmouth Bass. If you buy one of these reels, take good care of it 'cause it's definitely going to take care of you. 👍👍😊😊
Quality and high performance from Islander Reels. I have had my Steelheader now for 30 years and it still gets heavy usage. I purchased one for my brother in 2010 , I tried it for a few trips but I can't break away from mine. Wader, rods and even may trusted Pioneer fishing jacket ( great designed jacket with lots of storage and construction ) have drifted out of rotation but that Steelheader remains.
My Islander Steelheader was bought yesterday took it home for fathers day and the man absolutely loved it. Is it supposed to spin with a breezy sound however? The faster it spins the more pronounced the sound. Its not a grind or anything but a breezy purr. Should I take it back and try a new one. I know they are not going to be silent but was just wondering. Thank you! Beautiful product!
A bearing change will make it quiet again. Will get louder with use tho. You can send it in to Islander or if you or your dad feel comfortable changing them yourself. Can always call Islander for instructions
I wish i could have one but i m in pakistan...used to have it back in 2003 used it for 4 years it was still like new one...and i forgot to bring it back home....now i cant get it...miss that very satisified product
I have several different reels including a pink islander..all 1300$ down to 450$ and if they made a islander that is 5 and bigger I would run all islanders

I have been fishing your centerpin reels since 2005 we are ready for a 5.50"love them
Show more of the beautiful colors. ISLANDER definitely one of the most classic fly reels of all time.
