Looks like a nice reel and I am thinking about buying one. Anyone have any feedback?

It would go on a 6 wt GLX.

Happy Thanksgiving.

That'd be a fine choice -- both in general and with that rod specifically. At that price point you've got options on some nice reels, but you won't have any regrets if you pick the Velocity.

the velocity is a fine reel. I absolutely love my lamson reels and have 3 or 4 velocity reels.

I don't know what your are targeting with this set-up, I choose the V3 for my six weight. I believe it was 3.5", the V2 is smaller. You can generally knock off 10-15% on their listed backing capacities.

Thanks guys I appreciate the advice. I bought the Velocity 2 today before seeing the posts about the next size up being bigger.

This will be my Yakima-Grand Ronde-Missouri "on top" setup.

I am gonna fish this reel and probably buy a Velocity 3 for my streamer rod which is a RPL 7100 graphite II. I have a few older milled STH Airweights that I have fished for years but they are starting to breakdown (screw missing in clicker model I could probabaly fix but the lever drag has a bigger issue). I always felt like I was giving the monarchy the finger fishing these Argentine made beauties. Does anyone know who fixes STH stuff now? I heard Cortland bought STH. I called Cortland on tuesday left a detailed message with repair but haven't heard back but it is a holiday week so I will wait and try again on monday.

Thanks for the advice and happy holidays.
