A good fishing reel that I would purchase would be a classic spinning reel which is the basic reel for beginners or expert fisherman. A good brand that I would recommend for a spinner reel would be Shimano. They have been along the sport of fishing and fishing in general for a while and they are very reliable. If you would want to find a more advanced reel, I would try a bait caster which is just a little more advanced then a spinner reel but can be very effective when you master it. Shimano would also be a very good brand to use for a bait caster reel. The location of the place is relatively close to the locations I gave of the ponds so if you needed to stop by to pick up a reel it would not be out of the way. The address is 1 N. Galleria Drive, Middletown, NY.
Enjoy!!
