8 9 10 fly reel 9-10-11 Wt. – IRTReels Sage has determined the very specific demands that modern Spey anglers place on their reels Aluminum Alloy Fly Fishing Reel

nobody has mentioned the OTHER awesome things the shallow spool accomplishes..Firstly, when I spool it with braid and slam a hookset the braid does NOT dig into the braid on the spool rendering the drag system useless like on conventional spools..The shallow spool simply doesn't allow it therefore I can still get that slight slip on hookset and also still have a functioning drag system as needed..Secondly, I love straight flouro for my squarebills and cranking in general and the shallow spool with less line keeps the flouro from birdnesting itself horribly like what I have experienced far too many times along with some bad words..I fish in the Oklahoma wind and my casting distance with crankbaits has actually increased over traditional spools helping me sack my personal best limit of 24-11 this fall season..Th e drag, tensioning knob and braking system all utilize the "clicking" system for more precise adjustments..Lastly, it is super quick, easy and cost effective to change out line or switch line size since it only takes 40 yards to re-spool..This reel will pay for itself over time with line savings alone
