I have just purchased a new rod 5 weight. I am presently looking for a new reel to go with it. I would like to hear your opinions on wide arbor reel. The reel that I do purchase, I will be using it and will keeping it(if I like it)for a long time. My old system is #7 and that is all I have been using for the last few decades. Wide arbor reels are new to me and I do not want to put out good money for something that will not hold up, or that I can get for less.
