One night on the vineyard there were 20 lbders eating 2 inch sand eel patterns because that was the dominant bait. I have not found a situation when I have seen an abundance of shorts and a few keepers lurking around. They call them schoolies for a reason. If you want to catch bigger fish you have to go where they are and match the fly to the bait present. 1996 on the island I found a pod of fish 20 to 30lb. the 16 I landed were all in that range on the small sand eels I had not one under that. These fish tend to feed in like sized groups if small ones in that size group showed up he could be dinner for the larger ones

I believe what you say to be usually true but if someone would buy one of these reels on the cheep I would break them down piece by piece and evaluate them like scoobie does. Carbon fiber washers are carbon fiber no matter how much you pay are the frames and spool machined, is the main shaft supported well.shielded bearing are a plus, do you have metal parts where some are plastic in cheaper reals. I have found some pretty good qualities in a few of these cheaper reels.getting replacement parts could be an issue and should be considered when buying. I am happy with the 25$ reels I purchased . I have found they were a little lacking in grease and lube in some places. That would be the first thing I do after taking them apart when new and see if you get a few good seasons of use
