I found out last weekend that I'm in need of a new reel. What are some suggestions for one that won't break the bank? I haven't looked at reels in years

I'd heard reel prices went up but holy shite, that is ridiculous.

Any other suggestions?

Maybe if I fished more I could justify spending that much on one.

Man, I'm fricking with you. I use just the basic calcutta 200B and I have a couple of GTB's for salt.

I have a couple lews for freshwater and they work just fine.

I fished with a Lews last weekend when my Shimano crapped out on me. I've got an old Curado that needs a serious overhaul.
