I have recently purchased a GL3 8wt 9'9" fly rod for winter steelhead and silver fishing I don't yet have the rod out fitted with a reel or line and don't really want to spend and arm and a leg to do so.
I read a post by "spoon man" about the Okuma reel, and I am curious which one of the Okuma reel that I should purchase and what type of line should I spool it with.Or if there i a better reel for under lets say $125

Also is the rod that I purchased any good. I am new to the "fly"fishing thing so...I will also ned some idea as to what flies to use.
