Hi

I am new to fly fishing and have my heart set on a Orvis Large Arbour Reel
to go with a Grey's platinum XD rod. I am going for a size #7 rod but
ideally think the orvis #4 reel would do fine only trouble is on the various
sites they all seem to sell the #3 or #5?? Where would I get a #4 that is
ideally suited to a #6,7 or 8 line? Are they discontinued or am I barking up
th wrong tree here???

Any help would be grateful.

Cheers

Orvis is upgrading the Battenkill Large Arbor reel. The old model will
likely be discontinued as soon as the exisitng inventory is depleted.
If you're looking for a large arbor reel for 8 to 10 weight lines,
check out the review on http://www.flyfishinginsider.com. They did
some bench tests on 10 or 12 reels. The battenkill came out near the
bottom I think.
