I only own two rod and reel combos. They are both a little older and are not the top of the line models by their resepctive manufacturers. I have a 9 foot 6 weight G-Loomis GL3 and a 7 foot, 9 inch 5 weight Orvis Clearwater. Both are equppied with Orvis Battenkill reels with the disc drag system. All of this is good quality that fits a modest (mine) budget.
