I have taken up fly fishing this year at the age of 72. I am only fishing in a small river and have little need to wade to more than a few feet in depth.

Is that the case and, if so, can someone recommend some sensibly priced ones?

Hi, many many years ago my parent fished and had a reel with droppers that you broke off as you needed. We can't seem to find it anywhere.. all I can get is the individual packets of leaders with droppers. My parents are in their 70's and asked me to find this product and I can't find it anywhere.. No shop has heard tell of it! Sorry I'm a fishing dunce too which doesn't help. Can anyone help me? I'll try include a photo of an old box they found of the product.. thanks in advance!
