I have both Reddington and Sage reels that would fit the bill. Have'nt fished the Reddington Delta much, but it balances an 8 weight well. I am very pleased with the Sage 4280 matched to a 7 weight Reddington switch. Plenty of spool space for backing, line and a fat skagit or long scandi head. Only downside is the cost of an extra spool. I actually spoke to the gent (can't remember his name) at sage that does their reel repairs. He was very impressed with the 4200 line of reels and had not seen many come into the shop.

+1 Sage 4280

Guess I should have read the rest of the thread. Congrats on getting your reel. Now if the rivers, weather and work would align so we can all go chase steelhead life would be good.
