Well, I busted my 30-40 year old cheapo fly reel (probably about $10) so I'd thought I'd check out a new one. WOW, Have no idea what to buy, Went to Cabela's web. site and they range from $29.99 to over $800!!!!!!!! I just want a reasonable every day reel for small waters and rivers to reel in my lose line and allow a trout to run a bit. I do most of my fish control by having stripped enough line to control em by finger drag. Surely there is such a reel at a reasonable price for the old fart, but after 40 years, don't know what's reasonable and inexpensive? What price range should I be looking at and maybe a recommended reel??
Surely I should be able to buy a reel for $50 or less that would do just fine. Any suggestions, like - Cabella's Prestige for $49.99 or the Phlueger for $34.99. What would be wrong with one of these as an example??
