Any reel suggestions for a Sage One, 7 wt., 12'-6" long? Steelhead, Striper and small Salmon.
So far I'm considering a Waterworks Lamson Guru II HD, 3.5 size. Too big?

No, should be fine....might be a little too light for balance?
The 4.0 would be OK too. You could load it with 30# Dacron/Micron.
**A common mistake is to have too small of reel and/or too light of reel for a Spey rod.

Yes guru 4. It’s what I used on mine when I owned one. I have a 7wt tcx and 7 method now and still use the 4.0 Lamson reels.

I went into the fly shop and Joe Vasquez set me up with an Orvis Clearwater in 7 weight with and Orvis Battenkil Click and Pawl that I really like. It balances out well and what was in my budget. I will say in my opinion the drag needs to be set at the lowest setting and broken in but it's been a great reel for the one season I've had it.
