By next season I'm planning on adding an 8wt rod & reel to the 6wt I
already have. I'm going to build the rod over the winter (something to keep me from losing my mind over the long winter months of Illinois). This outfit will be for Bass & Musky. Also, this year I fished Atlantic Canada for trout in an area that had good sea trout and salmon fishing. I'd like to go after them with this 8wt the next time I'm up there (I only fished for trout this year with my 6wt). Between now and spring I'm going to keep my eyes open for a great deal on a used 8wt reel. I'm on a limited budget so I'm going to take my time and wait for a really good deal to come my way. My question is; what brand/models of reels would be on a "short list" to look for? Something that could handle Musky and Salmon. I'm hoping to get a reel that will last me a lifetime, at a price of ~ $100 used. I could go a bit higher if I had to. This is a reel I'd fish with 90% of the time (and I fish a LOT.....I even fish over my lunch hour at work at a nearby lake..........and I fish two spring-fed lakes that are short walking distance from my home (they're my "home away from home" places) Thanks for any help. |
