Dave,
The MA’s guts are sealed, while the BBS has exposed gears. That was enough for me as some of the places I fish can get nasty with debris. Plus, if you get the MA, you have a salt ready reel while you should not use the BBS in salt.D.
mid arbor is one solid reel, i’d trade my LA for those
they had buy ___ rod and get a free mid arbor before xmas. that was a deal!
Thanks guys, my local shop has the IV in mid arbor, black and spools. They are an Orvis dealer and obviously honor this special.
Dusty, You never worked for Orvis did you? Kidding. Your recommendations on the Orvis line were all good for me – and spot on. shannon
I love those reels! I sold the hell out of them and bought a few as well. I really do not use anything else. Plus they take a beating, like when we are on a flat at RR and the whole rig ends up in the mud for the post-catch pic or when you open your gear back too fast and send a reel flying across the parking lot. I’m glad that gear is still working for you , Shannon, and I would bet it will for years. You can also get that reel at Bass Pro Shops, and it comes in a pale metallic olive, a color only sold at BP.

I just picked up one of the BBS IIs for use with my 3wt TFO Finesse. Got a 4wt line on the extra spool. This little reel balances with the rod perfectly. I decided to go with the BBS over the MA based on weight alone as I wanted something light. Got the chance to try it out yesterday and it worked just as I wanted. I think it was a great deal.
