Review: To sum it up in a few sentences GFS is a superb retail shop. From my experience of 40 years of dealing with online and brick and mortar fly shops this place gets it right. For example, I had purchase an Abel Super 5/6 reel directly from Abel to pair it to a Sage Trout Spey HD 2wt that John at GFS highly recommended. I was very excited to put this setup to work on my home waters of the Delaware River. There was just one big problem, the reel foot was too big for the reel seat on the Sage Trout Spey. I called Abel only to have them tell me they had increased the foot lenght by an 1/8 of an inch. Mind you all of my old Abel reels from 4 wt to 8 wt seat perfectly on the deminutive Sage Spey 2 wt. They assured me the person I needed to talk to would call me back. After two weeks of waiting for the call back I decide to call John for his take on the problem. Without me asking, John said he would call Abel as he had some connections, a few days later the a new reel foot was on its way to me. That my friends, is service you hope for but seldom get.
