Default Fly Lines & Reels

Just got a new Scierra rod and am looking to spend £100-150 on a new reel,
any suggestions? Also what is the best WF8 Flating Fly Lines.


1a: Balance (line to rod action.)
1b. Balance (of filled reel on your rod in your hand.)
2. Temperatu fly line flexibility may vary with temperature
and this is functional in fishing pleasure and efficient casting.
(The range of temperature is much smaller in Britain than
elsewhere, but is still relevant to how the line behaves.)
3a. Line taper for selected presentation (whether of fast-sinking
nymphs or tiny dry flies.)
3b. Line taper for accurate casting to the range at which you fish.
