Why does a fly rod and reel cost so damn much?
Sorry, I just don't get it. For the same price i can buy a top of the line offshore big game tuna reel, or the best spinning reel made OR I can get a decent fly reel. There really is not much to fly reels, what is the reason for the over pricing? A spool on a fly reel many times is over $100. I just don't get it. Also 500-600 bucks good fly rod, even 300 is high if you ask me? Come on, seems like outright price gouging.
I am looking for a good 10 weight rod with a large arbor reel that has a good drag for both surf and boat and I don't want to take a second mortgage on my home to get it. Any suggestions? I am interested in quality but want some value. I am flexible on pricing but it has to be reasonable.
I was looking at orvis but sticker shock is making me think I don't want to get into fly fishing and I would rather buy another penn 50W two speed.
