Hello everyone... I am looking for a decent reel around 150 dollars or less, for a switch rod. I have an 11.0 4 piece deer creek 8 weight switch rod, and looking to pair it up with a decent reel, that can hold spey line, with decent backing.

Any advice on a good reel to match it up would be awesome!!

(a little more back ground. I have the Sage 1600 reels that I absolutely love, but I don't think it would hold, something like Royal Wulff Ambush line with enough backing for steelhead, etc. any other combos obviously appreciated! )


Thank you everyone!
