If you got the funds to spend you can't get better than a Daiwa Steez!

I’m a penny pencher by heart, but the Daiwa tatula has been incredible for me personally.

I can tell you the big difference is not that big. If your a weekender like most of us are. Your better off with a mid line reel and have some ceramic bearings installed. Maybe add a nice handle with carbon fiber and bearings. Drag systems are adequate for bass fishing in most cases. Maintenance is key too. Marketing is what gets you to believe one is superior than others. There are many variables to many to list here but that is my opinion on reels.
