You can't go wrong with a Teton/tioga reel.
They are the best bang for the buck. I own a 5/6 Tioga reel and use it for everything.
I have caught lots of chum, silvers, and trout with it. The drag works awesome for small fish and nasty chums. They also stand behind their product. I fell down a hill with my tube fins on and smashed up my reel frame. I sent it off with my credit card number and told them to go ahead and charge me for my clumsiness and stupidity. They sent it back within a week and didnt charge a dime!!! keep in mind that this is only a $100 reel. I am a Teton owner for life.

I bought mine in Port Townsend from a small shop that always gives ton of good advice.
(port townsend angler) REI will never be able tell you if steelhead are in a certain river or teach you anything.
