I gotta agree on that Martin. I have the LA Martin...like $39.
As mentioned, drag is not a real issue on these trout, but if it comes with a inexpensive package....SWEET.
I too have CFO, Tibor, Tioga, Lamson, Hardy, Vossler...I also have some $29. HARLEY (yes it has the Harley Emblem on it) LOL
Point is, I would use any of them on Trout and feel comfortable with any of them.
And also as mentioned...make sure WITH THE LINE ON IT, that it is not way heavy on the rod. That can tire you out quickly.
I am not saying to NOT buy a heavy reel cause I have a bamboo the requires a heavy reel as the bamboo is tip heavy. With a heavier reel, the rod is balanced and quite nice.
Good luck and many great fishing wishes.
