need a reel
I've ordered a Steffen 7'9" glass fly rod for a 3/4 wt line and need a reel to go with it... I think the rod weighs around 3 1/4 oz. but not sure (does anyone know?). If anyone is familiar with or has one of these rods please tell me what reel you suggest pairing it with. THANKS!
I think that 3" Pridex you have for sale would be perfect on that rod. Seriously!
Yeah, I was hoping so too, but the reel is too small to handle the 4wt -- it won't hold it! That's why I'm selling it.
While I admit some ignorance on the capacity of that reel, I really never met a 3" reel that wouldn't hold a 4wt.
It won't a hold a WF 4 or a DT? How much backing are you using or are you using any?
It's the backing capacity I bet.
Condex and Beaudex only hold about 20yds or so of 20lb backing
