Fly Fishing Reels

If fly fishing is your favourite pastime, or if you're just getting started, you'll understand the value of a high-quality fly fishing reel. You want a reel that is lightweight but powerful enough to compliment your fly fishing rod and fishing line. 

A fly reel is one of the simplest and basic fishing reels available, consisting of a drum onto which anglers wind the backing and fly line. When you turn the handle on its side, the spool retrieves the line in a 1:1 ratio. 

In addition to storing the line, the reel can assist you in fighting a fish that has escaped after being hooked by using its drag. The fly reel drag is particularly important when a bigger fish is fighting.
