Finally got my Orvis BattenKill Mid Arbor...

I have been looking for a reel for some time now. I finally bought the Orvis the other day. I read some great reviews here and elsewhere that made it pretty easy.

I'm very impressed with it. Haven't landed a Big fish with it yet, but I'm hoping to change that this weekend!

Anyways, super smooth reel, for sure...

Kevin, the best reel for the money? I am invested in the Ross BG series but may still switch someday. Good pick up.

Have used one all summer on stripers. Excellent drag that adjusts instantly. Excellent in saltwater so far. Looks new and used at least weekly.
