I have a Sage 896 (9'6' 8WT) that I need to setup with a cost effective but quality reel. While the majority of time will be fresh water, I would like the option of using in the salt so a reel that stands up to salt would be preferable.

I am thinking large arbor, quality drag and if it has a clicker - one thats not obnoxious.

Since there is no shortage on opinions aorund here, I would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks!
