The reel is the least important item imo unless you are going for exotic blue water species. There is however a lot of personal pleasure to be gained from owning a high quality reel even if it is only used as a line holder. As a general knockabout reel the Okuma Airframe is bullet proof, salt water proof and cheap as chips. It has a good drag system too. Not that I needed it for this exotic brown water species from t'Umber
