I'm pretty much into 'cheap' myself. I don't see the point in a $50 fly
reel - what does it really do?

Depends on what you're doing with it. If, for example, you are pursuing
tarpon, a fifty dollar fly reel will be useful for starting fires......well,
one fire, anyway.

I don't fish for tarpon. For your average freshwater fisherperson pursuing
mostly trout and an occasional bass - what's the point?
