Diawa is the way to go, I worked at Cabela's, for a time, and the only reels that came back were ****mano's, and not just the cheap ones. The Cabela's branded reels are made by Diawa and are very reasonable.
I've heard from more the one person that bought the cheapest setup they could find, only to have the setup grenade on the first day wrecking their trip.
