Logan,
I have been using Orvis Battenkill reels for many years. I started off with the original Battenkill Disc Drag for saltwater fishing and graduated to the Battenkill large arbor and the Mach reel.
Love them all.

Grand reels. Can't go wrong.
Logan -
The Orvis BBS reels are a dandy reel and a great value. Same can be said of several other Orvis reels - e.g. the Battenkill Mid Arbor. You won't go wrong with one of these.

The fish are always right.
I LOVE mine...I have the Mid Arbor

Love my BBS. Looking to add a couple more soon. No way can you go wrong for the price. Still think its one of the best values out there to be had.

I've had my Disk Drag Battenkill for my 5 wt rod for 9 years and really like it. I just got a 3 wt and immediately bought a new BBS for it. Can't go wrong.

Fishing isn't everything. . .it's much more important than that!!
I have a battenkill bar stock BBS and my son has an Orivis Battenkill Mid Arbor. Both are fine reels.
