How does a fly reel work?

A fly reel is simply a drum that you wind fly fishing line and backing around using the handle on the side. When you turn the handle, the reel wraps around the drum. 

How do you choose the right fly reel?

Choosing the right fly reel can be overwhelming. They come in different sizes and have different uses depending on the type of fish you're pursuing. Pick the one that can hold the required amount of backing and fly line for the weight of the rod.

How do you set up a fly fishing reel?

To set up a fly fishing reel you'll need to attach the backing to the reel, the fly line to the backing, and the leader to the fly line to complete the process. To get expert advice on setting up the perfect reel, contact us today.
