FishEastCarolina Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 As the title says Im looking for a reel for my 8 wt rod. I would like to keep the purchase under $80 if possible. The reel will be used for inshore saltwater as well as LMB/Rock so sealed drag is a must. Line and backing are not a requirement but would be a plus to help me get my first 8wt setup off the ground. If anyone has an Okuma Sanibel/ Cedros that would be great, however I have no real brand restrictions. I just have experience with the Sanibel and enjoy it. Thanks for the help getting this first setup up and running! FishEastCarolina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladyfish Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Maybe because it's hard to find a decent saltwater 8 wt fly reel for your price range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegDunlop Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I have an Orvis Rocky Mountain standard arbor 7/8, it is a cartridge type reel. I have two spools I am almost certain it is not a sealed drag but not sure need one for LMB or light saltwater. I had it serviced by Orvis and have only used it a handful of times since. $46 shipped PayPal if we're looking for a shark we're not gonna find him on the land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
