salmon fly reel/ line

popsy09

im in the market for a new reel for my salmon rod its a 10/11 weight

anyone have suggestions there is such a selection ?for my bait rods i always buy shimano but not so easy for fly fishing ha

it must have a spare cassette and budget is around 120e max for reel

also looking for a floating line and a slow sinking line in 10/11 weight ,need some help on that also

Any I'd suggest would be more than 120 I'm afraid. You'll get a reasonable Daiwa in that weight for that money but probably not with a spare spool.
Greys and Hardys are excellent long term investments but perhaps outside your budget. Check Adverts or EBay as there are often good deals on reels.

I don't know the model but the make is very good.

There are almost too many lines on the market and to be honest it's a matter of you get what you pay for.

was browsing the net the other night and came across a rod and reel package so instead of new line i got a whole new setup

15 vision gt four dh
vision koma reel
rio scandi versitip line #11

all for the crazy price of 150e !! the line alone is worth that the rod seems to be about 300£ new some places 400£, the rod is like new all tubes and covers etc

roll on january definitely getting lessons now to get the most out of it
