Dear Members,

I have recently become an owner of an Orvis T3 8 wt. rod. I am in need of a reel that will handle Great Lakes steelhead and salmon with rare excursions to salt water.

I've been looking at Pflueger Trion 1978, Reddington CD, and Orvis Battenkill Barstock.

I would appreciate any comments regarding quality, drag, personal experiences, warnings, kudos, or gripes.

Any others that I should consider?

Thanks, Tom
