Redington Behemoth

[laurelrun]

I'm looking at adding another big reel for salmon and steelhead fishing. I'm very pleased with my Redington Path combo but would prefer a second rig for these trips too. Already have a second rod.

Anyone own or fish the behemoth? Reviews online are very positive and I checked out a 5 wt version at a shop recently. Felt much sturdier than the comparably priced Lamson Liquid.

I looked at both and decided to get the liquid. Both reels felt very similar to me and I know the drag in the liquid is the same as the other lamson reels.

EDIT: Plus for $50 more you can fet 2 extra spools.

I bought a behemoth for my prospector rod for steelhead and ending up returning it. It had a wobble to it when you would reel. I checked a few dealers with the same reel and they did the same thing, some less noticeable. I ended up with the Landon remix and could t be happier.

I picked up the Rise 2. Good reel. REddington is owned my Sage...
