What or why are $250 reels better than $35 reels ? I have been fishing my whole life. I am not an expert but I am decent. I have always used "cheap" gear. My trout fishing pole cost $50 and my spinning reel cost about $35. I catch lots of fish. However, I see the same set up can also be $200 for the pole and $250 for the reel. How and why are these items better ? Can the fish tell ?
BTW -I have had my set up for about 20 years and it still works fine.
