Just go to Walmart and buy the cheapest fly reel they have and put some sinking line on it. You dont need a $500 fly reel for 17" cuthroats. They barely fight anyway. I dont understand why people spend that much on a reel. It just holds the line on the rod. When you get a big fish, use your hand to help the drag on your $19 walmart special!!
