Members mattmar10 Posted September 9, 2016 Members Posted September 9, 2016 Looking for a new reel for my Winston Boron III 5wt for trout. What would be your suggestions? I'm not necessarily looking for the latest generation, most technologically advanced whiz-bang hyped option. I'm looking for a solid, dependable (wont dent/bend if I drop it) good looking (perhaps more traditional in appearance) reel that is made in the US and fun to fish. One thing of note is that the reel seat of the rod is silver.
snagged in outlet 3 Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 I love my Lamson Lightspeeds.
Gavin Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 The lightspeads are nice, but not a fan of the look. Hard to top a Hardy Bougle or a Perfect.
snagged in outlet 3 Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Litespeeds are lighter and cheaper. I have the old model. The drag system is real nice too. Especially in cold weather. I do not work for Lamson. This is my saltwater model which just happen to be on my desk. The one I use for for trout fishing is the same model only smaller. I've probably had these 10 years or so.
