WTB "Experienced" Reel

Just picked up a new to me 8 wt (Orvis Hydros) as an upgrade from my starter rod/reel.
Wondering if any of you salts might have an experienced reel sitting around that would be a good match to it. I know how fly fishers like to collect stuff so please dig around your cabinets/closets and let me know if you’ve got something at a decent deal.

For now I will use my existing Orvis Battenkill Lg Arbor but I think I will have better luck selling my old setup as a combo, thus the desire to pick up a new reel

Thanks fellow feather chukkers

Incredible value for a machined aluminum reel with a cork drag. I’ve had one for 3 years and it has performed flawlessly on trout and reds up to 32".
