stream runner float reels?

[silvio]

I have a chance to grab one of these thinking about using it as a salmon float reel. Has anyone ever used one? How are they? Thank you

Hey Silvio, do you really need another float reel? Since you really only catch the same fish over and over again. Just kidding bud. I don't know anyone who has one but i'll ask a few buddies to see if they know how they are.

I had a Stream Runner 1 for a few years. Other than the fact that it was on the heavy side, it was a good reel. I sold it a couple years ago - in MINT condition - for much less than the one you are looking at. With a little more money you could pick up a brand new Islander or since you are looking at a Chinny outfit it might serve you well to look at a 5" like a Raven Matrix. Just my opinion though!!!

 

Good luck,
