   Having used or owned all of these reels, I’d probably say the CLA, but it (somewhat) depends on where, and what for, your friend is fishing. Most of these reels could probably be found online on cabelas or the flyshop.com or at your local fly shop, but the loop reel can only be found on the site I gave above.

   BTW, you need to know what rod weight your friend uses to best match the reel to the rod.

   The Orvis Battenkill Mid Arbor for $129 is undoubtedly the best value on the market

   The Teton Tioga reel is another high quality flyreel at a reasonable price

   I have owned both reels and neither have let me down

   That is really a matter of preference but I prefer the Pflueger automatic model 1195.

   In your price range the Orvis Mid Arbor Battenkill is # 1 http://www.orvis.com/store/product.aspx?pf_id=72ER&dir_id=758&group_id=768&cat_id=7908&subcat_id=7909

   Fot a more traditional fly reel you can’t beat the Orvis Battenkill Bar Stock. For years the Battenkill reel was the number one selling reel in the world: http://www.orvis.com/store/product_directory_showcase3.aspx?dir_id=758&group_id=768&cat_id=7627&subcat_id=7643
