Thanks for the replies everyone. I was really tempted by the Islander but I was put off by the price, gonna keep an eye out for a used one I think. I ended up going with an Orvis Battenkill II click, it’s a really good value and matches the rod, with enough backing on it’s almost a large arbour.
Gotta say though, I know it’s the off season and all but stock levels seemed low all over. Anyone who is considering some new gear for next season should keep an eye out.
