Re: Do you need an expensive reel ?

What price point defines what is or isnt an expensive reel? The first reel I had ever purchased for fly fishing was a Cortland Endurance, and was about 60ish dollars cheaper than the reel I was considering, but by far not anywhere in the neighborhood of what other high end reels cost....What do you guys consider to be the high, middle, and entry levels based on price point and quality for reels.I was looking through a fly rag the other day and noticed a reel system made of titanium that was priced at something like eight thousand dollars.....Me, personally I would categorize that as life on another planet.....Bruce
