Re: Do you need an expensive reel ?

Many things about fly fishing are works of art. Nature has provided us with her works of art that we enjoy our sport within. If you look at your equipment as functional works of art then you can get more out of it. You have spent the money for a Sage rod, I suggest that take it out and view it under the sunshine and look at it very closely. If you see the art that is involved in its manufacture then find a reel that matches it. If you don't see the art then go with a reel that matches your view. Many upper priced reels are very functional but they go beyond that. Their price reflects, color, fit and finish as well. Buy the reel that fits your perception. Take the time to look over many reels then try and find a sale or a deal on the reel that you have chosen. Good Luck.
