    Default ??Best $100 3wt fly reel??

    I need a new reel for a 3wt rod. I'm looking at the Orvis Battenkill Bar Stock (BBS II) for $99. Any other suggestions - no more than $130. Thanks.
    To Miss Nancy - She hated fishing, but loved a fisherman.

    The bbs is a good reel. I've got one on my four weight and I have no problem with it.

    Go Bucks is right!!!

    I have the bar stock for my five weight and have really liked it so far. Good reel for a good price.

    Sometimes it's worth paying just a little more.

    Default 3 Weight Reel

    I have an Elkhorn T1 that I will sell for $125.00 plus shipping. It's pewter colored, and is brand new in the box with pouch and papers. I ended up using a little Hardy that I already had and don't need the Elkhorn after all. If your interested email me at:

    I am fond of my Marryat CMR reels that I use on my 3 wt and 5 wt and 6 wt rods.
    Got them for $95.00 I always enjoy choosing new equipment - lots of fun. ALthough it is a vanity thing, I want my reels to look good on my rods.

    I have a teton tioga that I'm very fond of. Great little reel for a great little price. They are not overly advertised, but they are worth every cent. I love the little thing. Nothin against the others mentioned...just thought I would throw it out there.

    GBurgFisher I have to agree with you on the Teton Tioga. I have one and that thing is bullet proof.
