    Default Reel Suggestions...

    Hey, I just recently got a New Greys GRXi 8'6" 5Wt. Now the decision is what to get for a reel. I really like the Classic Salmon style with the S Handle. I was shopping around online and seen one of the Classic Trout reels from Highland Mills Rod Co. They are a Bamboo Rod co. with their own line of reels. Theres the specs for the reel:
    3 inch
    5 7/8 oz
    5 or 6 Wt. Lines
    www.highlandmillsrod.com

    Now I do really like the reel but I'm open to suggestions of what to get. The thing is my price range is no more than $350. I would prefer Click Pawl style but doesn't have to be so still tell me what your thinking. I wouldn't be buying anything until March so no rush. Not sure if this is in the right place to post. Also it does NOT have to be a classic style I'm open to anything.

    Thanks in advance,

    Nic

    This is my all time favorite reel. Hook & Hackle is a sponsor, and you'll get the best deal on this from them - a win/win situation for sure!

    You might want to try THESE guys. They are within you budget, and they also happen to be sponsors of our website.
    Where you go is less important than how you take the steps.

    The link worked earlier today.

    It was for a Hardy LRH Lightweight at Hook & Hackle. They're working on their website, so that might explain the problem. The price listed for the LRH was $299 - whether this will change or not, I have no idea. That reel would be sweet on your new Grey's rod!

    Since you're not in a hurry anyway, you might want to check into this when H&H's site is back up to speed.........

    BTW - The link works again for me now. Notice the weight of this reel!

    The link works now. Must have been my connection issues. Looks like a good posibility.

    Thanks, Nic

    Hi nic,

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