One thing I have is plenty of reels! LOL

I have the System 2 (plastic) and the Pflueger. Both have been good reels but my old hard-to-change ways makes me prefer the metal. Another inexpensive reel along the same lines that I've used now for three years is the Crystal River "Coachman" CR-2002. This is my river bass fishing reel (use an 8 wt line on it) and has performed very well.

I keep two kinds of reels - the inexpensive ones where I'll use for canoeing over deeper and unfamilar waters, and then a better grade reel for places I know and have been to. It's a lot easier to bid farewell to a twenty dollar reel rather than a two hundred dollar one!
