Kapusta Reels was started in 2008. It is a one person operation.
As an engineer & toolmaker, I was fascinated by the craftsmanship of fly reel makers. I decided, with some encouragement from my friend, Tim Borski, to start making some reels.
I made & continue to make them for me, my family, and for friends.
Each year I produce approximately 12 units, from December to April. I keep a couple, donate a few, and sell a few to The Angling Company in Key West.
The porting, the pretty stuff, is a time intensive effort to create one of a kind reels in a wide variety of diameters and profiles.
My aim is to create functional artwork.
I appreciate all the positive responses I have received over the years.
