Reel questions
Hi all,
New to spey casting and I recently picked up a Ross Reach 13'4" 8wt to get started on. I was wondering if anyone has opinions about a good reel that would balance the rod and fit the appropriate amount of line.
I was looking into the Galvan T-8 and Ross F1 (they would be in the top end of my budget). Also came across the Lamson Guru, which would save me a bit of money.
I will be fishing primarily NY state steelhead and salmon runs, but with the occasional trip out west for bigger runs or down south for saltwater fishing. Hoping to buy a reel that can handle the salt and fish down there!
Thanks in advance...looking forward to this becoming an obsession :chuckle:
