WTB: Rod and two reels

Hey there everyone,

I am currently trying to replace some equipment that was stolen from me this past summer. I am looking for an 8wt rod and reel. I would settle for a 7 or 9wt as I am not too picky. This will be used for salmon and steelhead.

Also I am looking for a small trout reel for a 3-4 wt line. So i wouldnt mind a 2-4 wt reel, something nice and small.

Thanks so much everyone this whole process of looking for new equipment to replace the stolen stuff is not that exciting.

By the way if you have lines available that are used I will certainly be interested!

Thanks again everyone,

Phil

Phil- I have an excellent condition LL Bean Orion 10' 8wt 3 piece rod in factory sleeve and tube.
These rods were made for Bean by G.Loomis on their blanks similar to the GL3.
I would sell the rod for $125.00 plus $25.00 USPS shipping to you in Canada. Stan

I have a complete 7 wt outfit on the For Sale page.
Rod is 10 ft so it would be perfect for salmon or steelhead.
Thanks

I have a Sage RPLXi 8'6" 8wt and a Sage RPL 9' 8wt. I also have a couple of Orvis Dattenkill 5/6 wt reels, A Teton Tioga 2 and several Teton 6 reels. Let me know if you are interested and I will work up a price.

Hi, I'm new here and don't know your history, though I gather it includes some recent unhappiness over gear losses, which I'm sorry about.

I made a recent choice by mail that hasn't worked out well, and maybe we can get together on this regarding your interest in a lightweight rod and reel.

I have a used Battenkill 3/4 reel (disc drag, made in England) that was purchased as a demo model just 8 weeks ago. I've used it three times (yes, in the cold, actually very cold- twice at above 8,500 ft, or nearly 3000 m, in the mountains in Arizona, in December).

The reel has an original Orvis pouch and an extra spool. The extra spool has a cloth Orvis bag and a separately purchased Simms neoprene bag. One spool has an Orvis WF4F line (not sure of the exact model of line, it is yellow...) and the other has Wonderline Generation 3 DT3 floating line. The WF4F line has a braided, fluorocarbon leader on it with a loop on the end, with some short, heavy tippet and another loop. There is a leader on the other line, too- I think it is a 7 1/2 ft Orvis 4X with some wind knots at the end (one day I fished in very high winds in the mountains, high enough to cause car accidents back down in the valley... and I'm a total beginner; it wasn't pretty fishing technique, but I'm in the early learning stages, so any time fishing is good time for me).

For some reason, this reel doesn't seat well on my inexpensive Greys 3/4 Wt rod bought as a close-out. I think the rod's reel seat is simply too small for the sturdy Battenkill (I have to jam the reel in hard and the opening on the metal ring of the reel seat just isn't big enough for a good fit).

So, I need to go into a local fly shop and try out some other reels, but I can't afford one unless I sell the Orvis. I bought the Orvis from Glady Fork Outfitters over the phone, not expecting any issues with my 3/4 Wt rod (and it isn't anyone's fault).

Do you have any interest? I'm new at fly fishing and working on a shoe-string, so let me know what you might offer. Best wishes, Jim
