I don't get that much of an opportunity to fish for trout too much, but I do enjoy the line pick up when I am fishing for smallmouth bass. I have a couple of old Lamson LPL's that I absolutely love, but can't stand the line memory. Nice work on your blog, I really enjoy it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-21348304553177060662014-01-14T11:48:30.185-05:002014-01-14T11:48:30.185-05:00flyfisher1000,

The Orvis reel did come into my possession as a gift quite a few years ago. I like to keep it simple as well as frugal. There are some wonderful bargains out there, you just have to look.<br />Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-30249948719055441712014-01-13T19:38:34.603-05:002014-01-13T19:38:34.603-05:00DRYFLYGUY,

I have been using the Drift 2/3 and the Battenkill Stock I fly reels for some time now; both were in the equipment that was stolen 3 weeks ago. <br />I manage to find the Drift on Ebay last week for 75.00 and the litte Battenkill reel at Elk Springs Fly Fishing for 50.00; I paid 100.00 each when I bought both these reels some years ago. I was lucky to find both reels for ----those prices. There are only a few of the Battenkill Bar Stock reels left online now. Orvis doesn’t make this reel anymore, what a shame. Redington told me the other day they will only handle the Drift 2/3 in the future.

I bought and added the Cabelas WLx 2.3 model reel to my collection thru their online bargain cave. That reel is MFG'd from Lamson water works, which is a quality company that makes quality products. Its sized for a 2/3wt line setup & I saved BIG money through the bargain cave.<br />Great post!!!............PhilDRYFLYGUYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11014193042361579019noreply@blogger.com
