Here's my pick for the world's sexiest fly reel. The Cascapedia echoes the design of classics like Vom Hofe, Bogdan and, of course, Hardy, with its S-shaped handle and red-dotted drag indicator on the back plate. Formerly a limited edition, the Cascapedia is now in Hardy's general line. Four sizes take line weights 2 through 11 with backing. It's pricey but very nice indeed. $795-$1,150; 607-756-2851; www.hardyusa.com
