Wtb or trade for cheap used 8wt fly reel

Post by jonb » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:18 pm

Not looking for anything fancy, it just needs to hold line and have a working drag... ill over look dings and scratches, i dont care what brand it is, i do want it to have line on it. It will be used on a one hander 8wt rod i plan to use for humpies this year. Im looking for a reel in the $20 range, or trade flies for it, i would prefer to trade flies though. It would be best if you are in the everett vicinity, so i can meet you to make the deal. Pm or comment for details or questions. Thanks for your time and concideration.

Check Cabelas... They often have their Wind River fly reels on sale for $19.99 and they have a large version for 8-9wt rods. I have used several of these reels for a few years and they have held up well and are impressive aluminum reels for the money.

There is a household consignment shop katty-corner to that 7-11 by me.

A guy dropped off maybe 25 various old reels in there 2 weeks ago. I'll try and stop and see if there was an 8 wt. i know there were some smaller fly reels.
Also.... That outdoor/sporting good store just 1 block west of Aurora, on 196th in Lynnwood... They have A TON of very cheap/used reels of all sorts under the glass counter in fishing section.
