Hi-

I'm in the market for a new fly reel after spending several years with my Orvis Battenkill disc drag (recently this reel has one heck of line backlash problem when I'm stripping line out...I'd hate to think what would happen if I had a big fish on...).

I have a Sage FLi 5-wt. rod and would like to spend $200.00 or less on a new reel. I mainly fish for trout (small brookies to 2 - 3 pound 'bows/browns). Important highlights would be reliable drag, no backlash, tough finish (I can be hard on my equipment), smooth "feel" when in use...

If you need more info. please let me know :-)

Thanks for any help!!

P.S. Reel "click" doesn't bother me when reeling or stripping line...
