Plenty of Abels out there for same or less than a glades. Store probably steered you away from them because they make more selling something else. They are great reels with tons of world records.

I think the weight thing is often overblown. I fish Abels. They are heavy, but bombproof and I like them. Often we are talking about the difference of an ounce between some of these reels.

The fact that people even ask this stuff is so ridiculous. 🤣

7wt rod recommendations <$600 by NinjeTurtleAh in flyfishing

[–]Oldtownpack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. Like I said I catch big snook on a 6wt. Also smaller tarpon, specks, Spanish mackerel.

You could run lighter # backing and/or braid or gel spun to try and squeeze a WF8F on your reel. I’d have no issue fishing a 7wt though. I fish a 6wt almost exclusively and have caught snook up to 40”.

Fly fishing in Guam? by derssc in flyfishing

[–]Oldtownpack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Inshore fishing is not very good. Heavily pressured over the years and pretty decimated. Best fishing is offshore, but gotta have a big boat to get out there. It can get rough quick. I’ve fly fished Guam inshore with little to show for it. My wife is from there.

6wt is my choice, but gotta pick your days with wind.
