Looking for a 3wt Reel with some Character - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have a Galvan Brookie on my 4wt. Super simple and light reel which is fantastic for the kind of fishing where you aren’t going to fight a big fish on the reel for a long time. Caught a 20” cutbow on the Eagle last week!

I've got 2 hardy demon cassette reels and they're at least 10 years old and are still as smooth as day one. I'd say a hardy will likely serve you well based on my experience.
