Using the right kind of fishing reels


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.
