Choosing a Reel
You have selected a rod and now it is time to find the right reel to accompany the rod. A fly reel is not just storage space for the fly line. Your rod will help you fight the fish you have hooked, but the reel will help keep you from losing the fish. So, you will need to consider a quality reel.
A high quality reel may last a lifetime costing a minimum of two hundred dollars, but a quality reel will last a long time and will cost over a hundred dollars. The cheapest fly reel will cost less than fifty dollars and it will work if you are only fishing for small trout but get a better one for bass.
You will want to choose a reel that is resistant to corrosion. A quality reel will be more resistant than a cheaper one. The cheap one is likely to have only a coat of varnish on it that will quickly wear off. Another feature to consider will be the procedure of adding an extra spool. You want the procedure to be as simple as possible.
Now is when you will really have to do some reading up on reels to enable you to pick the right reel for your needs.
