I really like the Orvis Battenkill midarbor reels and have 2, but I don't have a reel for my 8 wt. rod, so I was thinking about getting one, or at least waiting a while to see if they will do their sales with a free spool or free line (which I got last time).

However, I have about $136 credit at Cabelas and looked at their G.Loomis Eastfork reels and thought they looked pretty good so I was wondering if they are good, and would it be worth the extra $50 to get one or should I wait for the Orvis? What kind of warranty does G.Loomis have and where are they made?

Does anybody have any other suggestions?

Thanks.
