Re: Do you need an expensive reel ?

Keep in mind you get what you pay for. Also, how do you fish? I generally spend $40 - $50 on my reels. The way I fish, my fighting is by hand, not on the reel. I will occasionally hook a big fish and use the reel and have yet to loose a fish due to reel problems. But then again, 40 years of fishing I think I know how to play a fish. If I used the reel all the time to play the fish, yes, I would get a better quality reel. Get the best reel you can afford based on your fishing style.
