Looking for recommendation on a reasonably priced six foot 2-3 wt fly rod and reel. Any thoughts?
Reels for a 3wt are not important. All they are going to do is hold the line at least for me. I'd get an ebay special. For rods that small getting the correct balance isn't all that important either and I've found a slightly larger reel will help with less line memory. People overthink reels. For trout around here in PA a reel is nothing but a line holder. I literally hand strip in 99.9% of my trout.How about recommendation on a reasonable reel to go with CGR 5' 9" 3 wt.
Same thing with my reddington zero.I have an Echo Base 2/3. It’s an ok reel for my 2wt. Nothing much more than a line holder when you get to that point. IMHO
