The last one looks good, but the first one is just a spool

I haven't tried any of these. The name on this one makes it attractive. If Sage does as well on its reels as its rods it should hold up.

If you are close enough go and look at them. It seems like the things that are the biggest problems are drags and slop in the spool fitting, that allows the line to get caught between the spool and the frame.
