"I've used more expensive reels but the Orvis Large Arbor Reel stands up to the task at hand. The drag system is unsurpassed and when fishing for steelhead (I use an eight weight system) it's one that you can always count on. It is also well balanced and I have found it to be the perfect complement to my rod and line. With a spare spool lined with sinking line, I have the ability to fish in almost any type of water. I've since purchased a six weight Large Arbor Orvis Reel to use for rainbows and browns."
