Rocco 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2014 I just got Steve's latest creation in the mail this week and matched it up with an Orvis Hydros II reel. The Orvisis an expensive option but being very light for its large-ish capacity it both balances the rod nicely and allows ample backing for any bruisers that crash the party. I'll try the rig on Monday on ;pca; still waters that are not nasty from recent rains. Rocco Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spanky29ca 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2014 I have a hydros reel on one of my rods, very nice reel. I'm stuck at work while my new rod from Steve is sitting 500 miles away, haven't even seen it yet. I would like to hear how you make out with it. Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2014 That's a really nice reel. If memory serves correct I believe the Hydros II reel only weighs around just over 4 oz so that's a nice light weight piece of equipment there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
