Fishing reels shouldn't be a drag on your game
|

Use old or poor quality fishing reels if you want to lose that big fish. Combined with the wrong leaders and tippets, your wrong reels will cost you all the glory of the big catch. If that's not enough, throw the wrong reel on your fly fishing pole, too. It will make sure that your whole outfit is out of whack. Sounds like a plan, right? Wrong.
Any serious angler knows that it's essential to have a great reel if you want to actually catch something on the lake or the stream. Buy something cheap if all you're looking for is a couple hours of peace and quiet and a few brews. Not that there's anything wrong with a little quiet time in the Great Outdoors, but the whole reason for being out on a boat at 5 am, or waist high in a river, is to reel something in.
There's no disputing the simple truth in that. All is there to do now is find yourself fishing reels worthy of your dedication to fishing. You'll be surprised by the choices out there, and assured that one or more of the reels out there will do for you. You have your hands full of choices whether you're on the market for a fly reel, or a spin reel.
For fly reels, keep your eyes out for the two different types of drag systems on the market. In case you forgot, the drag is what gives your line tension and makes it more or less difficult for the fish to pull out more line from the reel. For smaller fish, the drag of a reel isn't as important, since they won't have the muscle to yank on your line. Larger catch, on the other hand, you'll be worrying about the drag on your fishing reels.
