I was in talks with Esopus Guy the other day as he was looking for a new 5 wt. reel and I was offering my suggestions. I'm sure that we all started off with a standard arbor reel at some point. In the recent years, I've switched over to the LA, and love it. I've had a Lightspeed for years and also have a ULA that I'll never give up. One of my favorite reels to hear is an Orvis CFO - but I just can't bring myself to go back to one. With most makers now focusing on the Larger Arbors, are the standard arbor reels a thing of the past? I know the obvious complaints: smaller rate of retrieve and coiling line, but do these have any advantages, especially on the 3 wt. setups?
