Those Einarsson reels in red are very nice, too dear though.
I have a bit of a problem with expensive reels, never convinced they are worth the extra cash.
Case in point, I have an Orvis Mirage which I picked up half price when it was the end of the range for the new version coming out. But RRP, that is a £350 ish reel. It’s maybe just that reel, but I just don’t think it’s worth that kind of money.
I have other reels which I prefer and were cheaper. It is very light though, maybe that’s what you are paying for
Rods on the other hand are easier to justify. In my head anyway.

Edit. Sorry for double post, meant to alter the other,
Also that’s from a trout perspective. I understand Salmon and Saltwater can need better gear, but for trout that will rarely take you to the backing, I just don’t see the point of going over £200. Lots of very nice reels at that price range.
