What model would you recommend? I do mostly trout, keep in mind average smaller here than in Alaska 18-28”, but would also like something that can adapt up for larger trout or salmon if I get chance to go fishing for those. It may be I can’t get both with same reel may need two rigs, my rod may not handle it as well.

You could get a seven plus. A seven weight line on a six weight rod helps to cast, particularly in wind. If you’re headed for salt or a place with larger fish you can get a spool and throw heavier lines one. My bonefish setup is a Winston Boron IIIx in 8 weight with a hatch 7+ and a 9 weight line.
A five plus would be a good reel but wouldn’t be as flexible in the higher end as a 7+.
