 |
|
| I've fished for the last 7-8 years with a lower end reel on my 8 wt - OK, cheap. After taking forever to land an oversized red a couple of weeks ago, I upgraded to a large arbor, anodized aluminum reel that is really impressive in terms of construction and weight. It is the TFO BVK III. Holds about 200 yards of backing and is incredibly light weight. Seems like a lot of bang for the buck in a mid-range reel ($260 from Bass Pro). I'm sure there are some users on this board - your thoughts? |

| a buddy of mine has the excact same reel and he loves it. TFO products are hard to beat ive used an axiom since they came out and cant put it down 5,7 and 8. i almost bought the new sage method but after casting it i just couldnt do it i was expecting a lot more from the rod but it wasnt there. might just be me. goodluck with the new reel. |
