For the time being, you should be able to get by with a $46 reel.

I can't believe you'd tell him that. We all know that no
self-respecting fly angler would be caught dead using a reel that costs
less than $47.99.

The reel itself is $46. It's the self-respect that accounts for the
remaining $1.99.

who wishes all newbies were this easy to help......then we could move on
to a discussion of the best knot for attaching leader to fly line.

That's an easy one: The Gordian Knot.

I prefer "Johnson's Improved Gordian"®.
