JW YOUNG & SON'S 1530 FLY REEL INFO

11 March 2020 - 11:14 AM

Hi, I have a JW Young 1530 series fly reel. Wanted to know what the line capacity or wt# of rod to use?
It has a narrow single action reel at 3.5 inch diameter.I know a 1540 is used on a #11 and #12 wt. Was hoping to put the 1530 on a #8wt 9ft Fenwick eagle. Is this a good match?

JW YOUNG &SON'S 1530 SERIES FLY REEL

10 March 2020 - 09:03 AM

Hi, new subsriber here. I have a old fly reel never used. Jw Young and sons 1530 series. It is 3.5 inches in diameter. I thought it is a #6wt or #7wt maybe #8wt??
I am interested in purchasing a spey or switch rod 7wt, 11 ft and was wondering if this would be a appropiate reel. I researched spey reels and they say to oversize the reel, but wouldnt that be too havy? Does anyone have any info on this reel?
