How much must one spend to get a quality saltwater fly fishing reel?
I need a resonably priced reel for chasing Tarpon, Snook, and Bonefish. Brand names would be appreciated.
Okuma makes a decent reel for saltwater applications and you could match that up with decent saltwater rod as well. I would get an 8wt or a 9wt. Go to FAOL or outdoorbest.zerofrorums - flyfishing section and search archived posts and ask some questions. I would not target tarpon with anything less than a 10wt rod and reel with a good line. The 8wt or 9wt will cross between salt and freshwater fishing if you want to target peacock bass in Florida or largemouth basss as well. Based on your budget, say dollarsignr250 look at Cabelas and Bass Pro combos for 8wt and 9wt. Good luck
