I recently purchased a lightly used Winston Tom Morgan Favorite, 4 wt. I'll be using it for sunfish/"perch" and Guadalupe and Guadalupe/Smallmouth hybrid Bass, although I hope within the next year I'll have the opportunity to try it for Western trout.
I've not been flyfishing very long and I am generally ignorant about various rods and reels. May I inquire what you more experienced folks would recommend for a reel to fit on this rod? I'm more interested in reliability and durability (e.g., the drag) and low maintenance, etc., than I am in how pretty it is or what the brand name is. What do you think about the relative merits of Orvis' Battenkill Bar Stock and Battenkill Large Arbor, Pleuger Trion, Loomis Venture, Ross Cimarron LA, Sage 1800, and how about the various Cabela's reels? Or would you recommend looking at something else?

I'd appreciate any opinions.

Thanks,
G.G.H.
