A few reel questions. I have a Lamson Liquid 2 with several spools. It has been fine for my 4wt trout fishing. I hope to swing for fall steelhead with my 9' 6wt with both floating line sink tip lines.
Because of the large arbor size, when I spool the full floating line, there is only space for about 80yards of backing.
Should I consider that enough backing in the event an adult fish grabs?
The next size Lamson in that model is 3.5" diam. Much is written about proper balance between rod and reel. 3.5" seems awful big for a 6wt, not sure.
Or should I consider a regular arbor reel of less diameter that can hold more backing?
Any recommendations for moderate priced reel?
Is there a sink tip or full sinking line I should definitely have in tow? New to much of this.
Thanks
