    Default If money were no object re fly reel?

    Several months ago I posed the same question re fly rods. Your responses were very interesting and helpful. Rather than purchase one very expensive rod, I "settled" for 4 Sage rods and have been especially pleased with the two Z-Axis models ( 4 wt and 5 wt.).

    Now I wnat to know your views on the "best" reel for 3/4 wt.

    As always, thanks in advance.

    I love my lamsons. Galvin ain't bad either.

    Where you go is less important than how you take the steps.

    Nautilus is "The reel" now in my opinion. I have just one and I love it.

    Listen to the Lady!

    Another great, no longer produced reel is the Ross San Miguel or Vision. Thank goodness for Ebay, eh?

    When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.

    Loop or Danielsson would top my list, I haven't tried a Nautilus but they sure look great! I also haven't tried Lamson yet, but have heard NOTHING but rave reviews for them. Some of them are affordable enough (since money IS a concern) that I plan to pick one up soon.

    And I have to admit this one looks pretty sweet!
