troutbum479 Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 The cabelas SLA reel is good for lighter rods. I have one on my 7'6" 3wt. and it balances it out good. arkmoflyfishing.blogspot.com http://okietroutbum.blogspot.com/
drew03cmc Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 For under $100, your options are kind of limited for a current lightweight reel, but you can check ebay. Look at older Pflueger 1492 reels, specifically, those made in the USA. They will balance your TFO rod, look classic on a rod with classic action and spools are cheap enough on the 'bay that you can carry different liens, tapers, etc. They generally run from $25-30 for a rough, fishable example of a 1492DA to well over $100 for a mint, sculpted pillar, never fished NIB example. They have a simple click drag and will hold a WF3F and 50-75 yards of 20# backing which is enough for any 3wt use. Andy
Jason R. Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 I dont know if you've checked the classifieds section, but I have a Redington Rise I would be willing to make a deal on... its a 3/4 and it looks cool. http://flyinthesouth.com/
