I will be fishing for salmon in Alaska this fall. We will be fishing almost exclusively salt water. I am looking for reel recommendations -- something that will do the job, handle the salt, and not break the bank. For those of you who fish east coast coastal srippers, etc. what would you all recommend.

$300 to 400 is OK but I don't want to spend more than that if I can help it.

One fly shop suggested I think about more high end reels especially if I will be fishing bone fish, tarpon, etc -- which I want to do someday but it isn't in my immediate future.
