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.
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!
I will 2nd the Hardy LRH Lightweight.Ive had one for about 25 years and they are sweet.Very simple design,sweet sound and it will last you for a long time and look good on any rod.
