    Default Help me find a reel


    So since I no longer fly fish, I'm thinking of using my fly rod to use on crappie. The other day I was walking through Bass Pro and saw some of the Wally Marshall rod and reel combos. They had a tiny reel on them that I think may work perfectly on my rod, and now the thing is, I can't find just the reel to buy.

    I believe the number stamped on the reel was WMCT20. Anyone know where a guy can get one?

    www.basspro.com should have them if the individual reel is available for sale and not only part of that package.

    Why change? I use Martins cc61s (titliner). They very light (3.1 oz). They just line holders unless you wanna do some casting.

    smoothlures- Bass Pro doesn't carry this specific reel buy itself.

    Cane Pole- I've thought about leaving my fly reel on, but there are times when I may want to cast it is the reason for wanting to change it out.

    Cope - if so it won't cast any better than your fly reel. If it was a small spinning reel, just about any will work. However, I prefer a little larger reel as it balances better and the line comes off a larger spool better with less twist.

    This is the combo I was looking at at the store...

    If you hit zoom you'll see only one knob on the handle, but that makes no difference to me. I may just end up getting the deluxe round instead as it seems to be the closest out of any of them.

    I have had several Wally Marshall reels and have found their quality is like their price, CHEAP!. WM has some great rods, but not reels IMHO. All the WM reels I had are now in the trash. I suggest you go with Pflueger. They make a couple nice ultra light reels that are not expensive.

    Yeah, the Pflueger Medalist is nice. Also, check out the Shimano Symetre 750or the Daiwa SS700. Both are quality reels that will last YEARS and only weigh about 7 oz.
