Hi, I’m looking for a used ultralight fly reel with at least a click and pawl drag for my 2 wt. I’d like something that’s around 3 oz (significantly lighter than my 4 oz. Velocity 1). I wouldn’t mind suggestions for ebay and I’m sort of thinking about a Ross Colorado 0 which I can get for $100 new. I’d really like to spend around 50-60 bucks though — also would trade a once used Redington Redfly 9.5′ 6/7 wt 3 piece rod for the reel. I’ve searched the threads and the names that come up are the BPS White River ultralight (good wt. but no drag and too darn expensive IMO), various Orvis BBS models which I really know nothing about (have to admit the whole Orvis tweedy, pipe smoking, big bucks, mystique has completely turned me off their products, probably to my own detriment) and the Albright Topwater. Let me know. cheers, g

I have two suggestions, I did this search myself and found the Redington CT 2/3 click and pawl is an a great reel at a great price (no longer made).
Are you still looking? I have a lightly used Cortland Embassy 40 with spare spool that might do the job.
