Matt,
I haven't tried using the LA version yet, but I do have a rocky mountain
reel on my 3wt. I am very happy with it's performance and the inexpensive
cartridge is a plus. I landed a 22" rainbow on it last year and had no
problem whatsoever. It's a good real at a good price.
Hope this helps
jim "Troutman"

Subject: [VFB] Reel Question
> Has anyone out there tried out one of the new Orvis Rocky Mountain LA fly
reels? I want an upgrade reel on my 8wt but i dont want to put 300 dollars
into a LA. It has a cast alum. frame similar to the battenkilland the $15
cartridges that let you carry extra lines/shooting heads/ etc very cheaply.
Since it is orvis it is most likely gjood quality, and at 85 bucks ill be
able to afford to eat after i buy it. According to the description the
frame, and the drag are very similar to the 'kill and I own a battenkill and
am very satisfied. Anyone have any ideas on this?? Thanks, Matt
