Teton Tioga for fly. Durable, strong, simple, great drag, great price. Can't beat it for the money.

Fly reels Ross BG Canyon. All sizes. Great reel for the price. Light enough and tough enough to handle big fish.

I like the Teton (not the tioga) and have had mine for quite a while but the spool is stuck on the reel for the second time now. The first time they switched the bushing from bronze to stainless and said it was to keep it from doing it again but guess what didn't work. Oh well still works just can't swap spools. If only they weren't all the way over on the west coast...

Soak it overnight in salt-x, it will un-stick. I had the same problem. You must take the spool off and rinse after every use and you will no longer have that problem.

Another option to release a stuck spool- remove the cover plate where the release lever is located and spray some saltex or even warm water into the cavity then gently tap the end on the spindle with the butt of a screwdriver while holding the release lever in the release position and the reel off the work surface slightly. This works as my Redington has frozen up a couple of times when I got lazy. A little sewing machine oil or other light oil will keep it from happening as often. Ron
