INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FLY REELS
If you are new to the sport and don't wish to pay many hundreds for a top of the range reel, Rod & Fly's Discovery Larg Arbour range of reels is perfect for you.
The Discovery will take you from the Novice stage of fly fishing through to the seasoned experienced fly fisher without frustration. Fly reels are pretty boring things, generally they just sit around and hold line,
you'll notice them when you pull out line from the reel to cast, but by and large they just sit there not doing much.
That all changes the minute a good fish takes your fly at that moment the fly reel becomes one of the most important pieces of equipment, under stress - such as when a big fish is yanking out yards of line every second a poor quality fly reel will shows its true colours, leading to lost fish and potentially damaged or broken equipment. For this reason, it makes good sense to get a good fly reel right from the start - instead of deciding to get a good reel after watching a huge fish disappear into the river due to fly reel failure.
Our Guide has been fly fishing for 42 years and over the years has used most brands of reels and after field testing for 12 months ranks the new Discovery range of reels for its High performance, affordability, light weight, durability,and maintenance free
