I've got a few favorites. Price wise these are definitely lower end but they work for me. They are all in the 4/5 weight range.
Shakespeare 1094 - came with a combo. Good basic and solid reel.
Okuma Tempest - excellent little reel that I bought a few years ago. Possibly my favorite reel. Very, very smooth movement.
Orvis Clearwater - very dependable reel that has taken a beating from granite, gravel, sand, water, and me. Holds up well.
Cabela's Premier Prestige II - my newest reel. Bought it because it has an enclosed mechanism that won't collect gravel, something the other reels tend to do. It's empty until I buy some new line but it may end up in a tie with the Tempest for favorite reel.
