Since I was a dumb@$$ and drove off with my reel on the back of the truck yesterday o-o, I guess I'm in the market for another one. Anyone got something layin' around that you wanna get rid of? I'm looking to spend under $100, but could be swayed by a good deal on something a little more expensive. Whatcha got?

I'd check ebay for Orvis Mid Arbor reels

like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ORVIS-BATTENKILL-MID-ARBOR-III-REEL-USED_W0QQitemZ270079172948QQihZ017QQcategoryZ23818QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

good luck, sorry to hear about losing your reel, Maniac lost two rods and reels at PFF last year... off the truck and run over, couldn't find enough of the rods to make a warranty claim either...

got a couple of these, work great.. it as far as i can tell its the same reel as the orvis, but the cut out design in the reel is different.

stony, did you call Davidson River Outfitters to see if somebody might have turned the reel in or put up a "found" notice....

ya never know!

If you're really desperate, I've got a couple of old Pflueger Medalists.....I could part with one for $15 if you cover the shipping.

See if they are still offering a free extra spool on the Orvis Mid-Arbor reels.  That's a sweet deal.....

Sounds like a Freudian slip to me.  If you want to spend all of that $100, why not a new Orvis BBS?  Great reel for the money IMHO.
