I need a new reel for a 3wt rod. I'm looking at the Orvis Battenkill Bar Stock (BBS II) for $99. Any other suggestions - no more than $130. Thanks.

The bbs is a good reel. I've got one on my four weight and I have no problem with it.
Go Bucks is right!!!
I have the bar stock for my five weight and have really liked it so far. Good reel for a good price.
I was all set to say the Elkhorn,,, but it's a little more.
Sometimes it's worth paying just a little more.Quote:

Picture of it here. They come in different colors. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/drawing/
We are giving it away with a pink rod and line.
I am fond of my Marryat CMR reels that I use on my 3 wt and 5 wt and 6 wt rods.
Got them for $95.00 I always enjoy choosing new equipment - lots of fun. ALthough it is a vanity thing, I want my reels to look good on my rods.

I have a teton tioga that I'm very fond of. Great little reel for a great little price. They are not overly advertised, but they are worth every cent. I love the little thing. Nothin against the others mentioned...just thought I would throw it out there.
GBurgFisher I have to agree with you on the Teton Tioga. I have one and that thing is bullet proof.
