{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: reel and line recommendations

I find arbors are more personal preference. I like large for more consistent drag pressure, but mid and small arbors have their advantages as well.  The reel will depend more on capacity and your choice of backing and running lines.  If you're looking for 125yds of 20# dacron, 100ft of running line, and a skagit or scandi head, you'd probably be looking for roughly an 8wt reel.  If you already have a reel in that neighborhood, give it a shot first and see how it works.  That will give you an idea of the weight and balance as well.
