I discussed this question once with a reel maker who said: " I agree with you that most fly fishing reels are too light in weight but somehow the angling public has the idea that lightness is a virtue and competition forces us to make what the angler wants; not what he ought to have." Some anglers, who have learned the value of weight below the hand, add heft to their reels by winding on lead wire before putting the line on the reel. English Reels
Many English reels of the contracted type are provided with large rings of agate for line guides; regulated clicks; detachable spools and other refinements. Besides being well made, English reels are often designed to take apart easily for quick and frequent cleaning which is a worth-while feature. |
