Well within your price range, consider the Tioga reels made by Teton. For your Scott 9 wt, I would recommend the 12LA TIOGA- 4.25"/ 9.4oz. WF12-200yds 30lb. backing. Machined aluminum, sealed drag, $170.00 reel-extra spool-$80.00 (Cabela's-postage paid) The savings will help pay for the spey line. Rio's Midspey or Airflo's Delta Long (65' & 64' long heads. (Airflos have a 5-yr. no crack warranty) I had two of the Tiogas-I liked them. I moved up to the Ross Canyons, really nice but they are a bit pricey ($475.00 for the BG-7 reel-$191.00 extra spools) One nice feature of the Teton/Tioga line is that the standard and large arbor spools are interchangable, if you need more line capacity. You might consider gel-spun backing with that large arbor spool. Take your rod and fit the reel to it, balance is an important factor, in reference to fatigue, depending on your grip and casting style, especially with 15' rods.
