Hi, I made a "custom" gun last fall based on an AB biller design. It has the Biller handle and muzzle, so obviously the wood is basically the same shape as a regular, store bought biller.
So I was wondering what reel I could put on it? Obviously a biller reel would work, but i was wondering if there were any other brands that would fit. Thanks, Ian

You could check out the RIFFE, it is set up to mount to the side of the gun and have the reel sit in an "Up" position. I have both the Rob Allen Stainless reel and the new Rob allen composite reel, both are very well built and can be mounted to a wood gun with little mods. The Rob Allen reels mount on their sides, so I guess its a matter of personal pref.

I was really looking at the omer reel because its pretty inexpensive. I know that the Riffe on runs for around a hundred dollar (usd) and most of rob allen's stuff is pretty expensive as well...

Check out the Sporosub reel. Its low profile, has a few mounting options, has a good drag, simple and easy to clean. I have had one on my Riffe for 2 years and it has held up really well. I think they are pretty affordable too.

The sporasub reel looks interesting. I'll look into it as well.
I still don't know for sure if its possible to mount the Omer reel on a wood gun though. That would probably be my first choice. Second choice would be a Biller reel (but only if someone will back it up. Biller stuff has never inspired confidence in me)
