Milroy Engineering Testimonials

"I had a pair of Coast reels in the first year that they came out. I really loved them. Super smooth, quick pick-up and just sounded great. Later on I wished that I had kept them as I found out through a friend that Milroy was the MFG and that parts are easily available. Good reels, great guys making them and really good dependable service."
