I’m looking for a good deal on an 8 wt reel with floating line. It would be great if it were a machined reel

I could have a reel that I am willing to part with…
What type of fishing do you plan on doing? Freshwater? Salt? Beach? Boat?
Hello Rodney,
My intention is to use it mainly for freshwater rivers. I may also by a spare spool and use it in the salt.
Thanks!

A reel and line can be used in both Fresh and salt as long as you rinse both after being in the salt. I have a brand new Allen reel (red and Blue) that is a good candidate for your use-case.
I have not spent much time on the rivers so I would love another member to chime about the proper line would work best. 8WT is heavy for most trout fishing, and if you are swinging, you probably want something heavier.
Hello,
I might be able to help you here.
