It all depends on what application you are using it for! for $30.00 reels to $650.00
DON'T FORGET YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I would never bring a Pfluger TUNA fishin. or even try to use one on a BONE FISH.
APPLICATION is what they are made for. an you should look for what you are using it for. so if a $30 reel is what you need then thats what you should get. same w/ rods APPLICATION. an there are TONS of rods & reels around to choose from. sogo out an TEST them out to see whats you NEED.
GOOD LUCK GOOD FISHIN
