Seriously, why would you spend the $$$ on a fly reel or something like that when you get the same benefits from a $5 Schooley reel? I have 8 "straight line" setups for my son and I and all 8 reels cost the same as 1 fly reel....The drag on the Schooley's is just as smooth or smoother than any of my higher priced spinning reels.Phil
No one can afford those ice tech reels. look great but for me $90 for one reel is out of the question. I have walmart cheap o for a fly reel that has no drag that works just fine just gotta learn to use your finger as a drag! but cost $5!
That's an Albright. Very nice reel RG
To each his own I suppose, some guys spend alot of money on gear and some guys are so cheap they squeak when they walk ! If it works for ya and makes you happy, then it doesn't really matter what others think right ?
By the way...it's my opinion that 1 really well balanced outfit is worth a dozen cheap junkers.RG
