Retail Shop - Reel Selection: 6-Weight
SageLoopAbelTibor

In our opinion, the 6-weight rod is the most versatile streamer rod. Light enough for protecting 4-5x tippets yet heavy enough to throw most any streamers. If you are in the market for a 6-weight fly reel, please select the appropriate list to best satisfy your special requirements (manufacturer preference, physical weight requirements or budget).

Note: We have limited our selection of what we consider a 6-weight reel to reels with enough capacity to hold a weight-forward floating line and no less than 100 yards and no more than 150 yards of 20# backing.

     

4-Weight Reels (WFF with 50-100 Yards of 20# Backing)
5-Weight Reels (WFF with 75-125 Yards of 20# Backing)
6-Weight Reels (WFF with 100-150 Yards of 20# Backing)
8-Weight Reels (WFF with 200-275 Yards of 20# Backing)
9-Weight Reels (WFF with 225-300 Yards of 20# Backing)
