Its been a while since I been into magic. I got a sour taste in my mouth from people being able to go on youtube and expose the tricks everyone does. That being said I still love it and I'm going to try it again. Years ago I had a Tango Ultimate Reel for doing the silk through pole trick. is that still the go to Reel or is there something better out there today to use?

I also have the T.U.R. and it does the job.
Many pros swear by the El Duco Swedish reel wich have been unavailable for many years.
However, Andreas Sebring from Metalwriting.com is now producing the Swedish reel again.
It is not cheap but the quality is outstanding.

I completely agree with Leo-Kim. I picked one of these from Andreas at Magic Live last year and have not regretted this for a moment. He is also very generous with his time and insights as he is extremely passionate about its function, use and quality. I saw him again this year and my impression hasn't drifted at all. There's no question this is an investment which will support your routines every step along the way.
