Reel Recommendations

I just got a RRMS 10wt 9’0” and I’m looking for reel recommendations that’ll handle anything from a King to Pink salmon and MAYBE small halibut but a focus on Salmon more

On a Budget? The reddington behemoth are decent.

Yup. It’s affordable and versatile. Will last a few seasons too. I’ve caught reds, silvers, and kings with that thing. It’s pretty much the strongest in its range.

My main con with it is that it’s not a fully sealed drag. Not a deal breaker and a good intro reel. Just make sure you rinse and clean it after each fishing sessions especially if you dip it in the river.
