What is your favourite reel for your spey sticks?

I Love Hardys.

I have these.

JLH Utralight Salmon
JLH Ultralight Disc salmon

Alex Martin " Thistle " 4 1/4, apparently this was made by Dingley, the original maker of the perfect for Hardy.

Next will be a Golden JLH Salmon, anybody have one?

I have only had 2 spey setups my first was

Loop Blue 9140 with a Loop Evotec 8twelve reel. I didnt enjoy this setup as the reel was to light for the rod so i sold it.

the setup i have now is

Echo 9140 (classic) matched with a Bauer M5 and running a Delta airflow line. now this setup i can fish all day and i love it

WAYVIK,

I have a few favorites, love my Marquis Salmon #1 & #2

they are one of the BEST! Just got a Abel Super 10 which is sexy, havent used it yet but sure sounds nice!! All in all, the Marquis is my favorite!! :beerchug:

Yes I like those Marquis as well.
They are on the horizon for future aquisition as well.

How about Perfects.

Anybody have a nice Perfect?

Perfects are perfect but find they offer the best balance with the old cane 2 handers so use the Angels with the graphite rods. The ultralights are pretty fine as well.
But Hardy all the way for nearly 50 years.
