This is the most expensive baitcaster that I have ever purchased. I got it a couple of weeks ago. It was $139.00 at Academy. I know that there are a lot more expensive reels but I want to step my way up so I can personally know the difference with different reels. I can tell a difference between this one and some of the others that I use. My next purchase will be a mid grade Daiwa spinning and baitcaster. The cost of those are around $300.00 each. I want to choose my reels based on what works for me rather than what is popular. What are some of you guys most favorite goto spinning and baitcaster reels?

For those of you who have BLats signature rods, what reels do you have paired with them?
