I use Amundson Trend reels for all my rods now. They work well, even in the salt water and the spools are pretty easy to get at sales in the fly shops nor do they cost that much at regular price either.
I'm sure the drag is probably smoother on the really expensive reels but I've pulled in a lot of fish and it's never been the reel that has cost me from landing any fish.
Plus they are a Canadian outfit out of BC so supporting local as well!
