Do you really expect to get into the backing? :-)


For 600 bucks http://www.flyfishusa.com/reels/tibor.html#3 I would
hope that it would catch me something that could get into the backing

I'd guess the flyshop retailer got old mexflyfish into the backing. :-)

The amount of money you pay for a sal****er reel has little or nothing
to do with the size of the fish you hook, but everything to do with your
chances of landing it. $600 for a solid, reliable reel isn't that
outrageous IF it will be used many times over many years and on many fish.

Tibors are fine reels, and you pay accordingly. Same for Abel, my favorite.
