Large, Narrow Reel (British) With 35% duty added to their price these English reels cost in this country more than the general run of fly fishermen care to pay, although an increasing number of American anglers are buying them, especially those models of the revolving head plate type which combine neatness, simplicity and strength. A narrow reel of average proportions should be at least 3 inches in diameter to hold twenty-five yards of level or thirty yards of tapered E line or 31/8 to 31/2 inches for equal lengths of size D. A large reel is advisable as it enables one to splice his fly line to fifty yards or so of linen line for extra heavy fishing. |
