Reel Saltwater Suggestions

I am building a 9wt fly rod on a temple fork TICR blank. Been hearing great things about them, so wanted to try it out. I was hoping to put a nice combo rod together and get an orange reel to match the wraps. I know Redington makes an orange RISE reel 9/10, anyone try it? Going to be used on the boat, not much surf, so am not too worried about sand and what not. Thanks in adavnce.

Bob Filger, the owner of Colton Reels, may still have a few gold colored reels left in stock. Might work for you.

I've fished with a few RS2 and GD reels on other guys rods. Nice drags and seem to hold up well. They see more freshwater use than salt so I can't help you there.

Galvin makes their torque large arbor in a bronze that may work for you.
