riverhugger Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Was playing with this reel in the store... been looking for something to throw on my 7 wt sage vantage for some steel action. I think I sort of fell for it but I figured I'd look for suggestions or alternative to check out... cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverhugger Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Went with the CLS 5000... loaded it up and threw it on my 7wt last night. I think its going to make a nice lake run trout set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCfly Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 I am hoping that with Hardy's investment in new CNC's and the return of fabrication to the UK will bode well. I looked at the ultralights and found that everything below an 8000 (IN ALMOST EVERY STORE I VISITED) there was lateral play in the spool. Maybe I was just unlucky. But hey, if you're happy with the reel (it looks good), and you have no engineering issues...fly and be happy bro!!!@ cc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverhugger Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Well, I got a great deal on it and it spooled up well other then me misjudging the spool size and over spooling backing... I am saving it for a few weeks to take out on the 7 wt hopefully all these steelhead flies and new reel will get a workout... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
