How do you choose a fly reel?
Below (or, click here) is a video from Kelly Galloup. I think it is great. I’ve long believed that my fly-fishing investment dollars should go into good waders most of all, and, after that, fly rods. I didn’t know how much emphasis to put on fly reels.
Kelly’s advice is that nearly all fly reels are the same. It’s all about style and looks.
Good to know.
Ditto…waders,rod,boots, with reels low on the list unless you are considering salt or other big waters.
I like that ranking!
