If anyone has a descent reel for an 8wt rod that they want to get rid of pm me. Mostly looking to use it for bass, pike, and musky fishing. I am a graduate student so I am on a budget. I've tried for a while to find a second spool for an orvis mirage IV but haven't had any luck. Thanks in advance for the help.

Lambson liquid 3.5 3 pack? A tiny bit of rim rash, I can send photos tonight. Hollar if you are interested.

Best bet is to pick up a spool for your IV.

Brand new Redington Behemoth can be had for around $100. Good reel for the price.

I'll second that...bought a Behemoth for my son's first setup. Awesome reel for the price.

Hunt ebay. I find a lot of good deals there. Recently got a Piscifun and really impressed with the machined quality for the way less than a $100. Haven't really tested it yet but it will soon in the salt too. So what it's made in the orient...so is Orvis and Redington.

Not sure if folks are more afraid of it being made in the Orient than the lack of unbiased reviews, and the inability to scratch and sniff before purchasing and the question of customer service if ever needed. They're only good deals if the items work.

The poster already has a top tier reel in the Mirage; way better for him to pick up an extra spool than pick up a lesser reel.
