wtb-spey reel/line

for a sage 11' 7wt switch rod

I have the same rod, and I would recommend going with a light reel like the sage 2580. Its one of the lightest reel around that will still stop a steelhead. The nice thing about its weight is the fact that you can still cast overhead. Traditional spey reels are bigger to help balance out the feel of the rod.

I have a lamson Bonefish with a used but still useable windcutter, a 7/8/9 on it, and 150+/- yds of backing. I would sell it for $175 w/ the line. This reel retailed for $429 in the mid 90's and has a super cork drag. Only a few scratches I consider it in excellent condition. I have been using it on my 6 and 7 wt. spey rods, would balance great with an 11' 7 switch for spey casting.

If you're interested drop me a line jrupp@watermc.com.

Thanks,
