a reel for a one weight?

[rrhyne56]

mainly just stirring the pot here folks because I have no broken legs or fingers and can drive as well as web search.

But I thought I'd take a poll of one weight casters and find out what reels y'all have found work well on your babies.

I have an 1834 Pflueger as well as a Cahill 0 but am always in the market for more toys!

Inexpensive small (or at least light weight) reels are not easy to find. I got a new Redington CT 2/3 on ebay a couple of months ago for $25. It is a very small machined clicker that balances my 1 wt nicely. The reel is discontinued so ebay is your best bet.

ross rythym 1 is sweet.
before I got the spool for the one wt I used a ross colorado 0. not made any longer but can be found for a good price.

I suspect that pflueger'll suit you just fine though. no need to get anything else.

Dear ZM,

I have the same reel and I agree with you.

Best Wishes,

Battenkill Large Arbor I. Have one on my 2wt. and it is smaller, lighter and when cool, line doesn't come off curly.

I use this reel for my 00, 0, 1, 2, and 3 weight rods. It has a simple drag but you can palm the reel with ease.

The Ryobi 255MG magnesium fly reel is perfect for a one weight - very light and a perfect size. They were an inexpensive reel when offered, but are now discontinued. The J. Austin Forbes magnesium reel is the same reel - JAF just re-labeled the Ryobi and changed the spool latch cover from plastic to metal. You will pay much more for the JAF though. Keep an eye on ebay.
