Default New partridge s series large arbor fly fishing reel

Been looking at thesae for some time now, what do others think about them?
Can only get one for 4 - 6 line but cant really see a reason why I cant fit #7 line to one with less backing, what do you think?

awesome reels i have the 7800 size, but i have some of the pflueger (sp) president reels in 5600, the partridge and pflueger are from same factory and same design, and with a thin braided backing, i use the wychwood hot orange or the airflo orange backing in 20lb, you will fit a 7 weight line on no problem.

i have actually squeezed a WF6 sharkskin on my 3400 size reel only about 20yds of backing or less but it's my medium river line so is plenty
