Reels 101

I need some advice. With the local Fred Hall show just around the corner, I will be shopping for a new reel to be used mainly for flylining bait while targeting YT and WSB. I have a Torium 20 and Sealine X40SHA, both of which I like. Should I be looking for another one of those or something else? I have no experience using some of the other popular reels that are out there such as Saltist, Avet, Accurate, ProGear, etc.

I suspect that reel selection often comes down to personal preference. Beyond that, I would appreciate hearing what everyone has to say on this subject. There is quite a large price range for these reels. What do you get for the extra bucks? Is there a significant performance difference between one reel and another? Is there a feature set that one has that another does not?

Bob
