I'm getting back into fly fishing after a 30+ year absence. Is there somewhere I can learn (on-line) about what would make a fly reel worth $850+? Clearly, technology has advanced quite a bit over the years but I'm at a loss to figure out what I need (or want)>
I wished I could offer advice but I'm in the same boat as yourself. I'll be fly fishing for silvers here in a month or so and I chose to try the TFO BVK Fly Rod Outfit (8wt, 9'0", 4pc) w/Lamson Remix Fly Reel. If I fly fished more often I may have chose a different set up but because not only have I not fly fished in a very long time I might only get to make an annual trip so this setup will only see a weeks worth of use a year and nearly half the cost of a $850 reel.
