Default Willie -orvis reel

Think you posted message about orvis sale of Battenkill reels--if so
thanks
At my age and resulting cutback on fishing I always feel like buying more
equipment is like buying green tomatoes but as my three year old Okuma reel
is pinching the line somehow when reeling in I made the move and bought
the $99 Orvis deal [ reel-line- backing included]

Now worried that my choice of titanium finish rather than black will
result in my streamside appearance mocking the turkey hunter, all wrapped
in camouflaged outfit, camouflaged face and hands, and wearing a bright
orange vest!

at least I can then say--well I guess my new reel spooked that fish!
