Just wondering if anyone knows somewhere I could rent a fly reel for an 8wt? I ordered a reel online and it was not in stock and will not arrive in SC in time for me to use. Kinda sucks but thought I’d try to rent a reel somewhere before purchasing one.
Thanks in advance!
Wherea re you coming from? I know there has to be a few places you could buy one on the way or when you get here… havening an extra reel never hurts… But to answer your question I don’t know of anywhere that rents reels… Hey MM… do ya’ll rent rigs at the CA?

I appreciate the help Nikonjedi, but I contacted CA already and they don’t have any rentals. I’m already in town and will probably just buy a reel and send the other one I got coming back.
Sorry Bro… I know the West Ashley has some Okuma Sierria reels, I use mine in the salt, 4 years now, and I was it everytime afterwardsa nd it’s still kickin… they are only $40-ish and are really good reels… Like I said you can never have too many reels

@nikonjedi - Really, those Okuma reels hold up that well in the salt?! I know a lot of trout guys back home that love them for the quality/price comparison… but I never thought about using them in the salt. I guess you just have to take care of it right? Thanks for the heads up I may have to check that out. As far as line goes what do most people use around here?
@scotty d - I appreciate the offer! How much would you charge me to rent one for a week?
I like to use a 9wt lineon my 8wt… I am running Orvis Wonderline intermediate right now and I really like this line…
