Some would say it just holds line so anything will do. Looking back, I started with a click and pawl Daiwa reel and managed to catch fish. I still own the reel but can’t imagine a circumstance where I’d actually use it. Suffice to say, I think the reel is a lot more important. If you’re dealing with fish that are large enough that you’re playing them on the reel then without a doubt the function of the reel is critical. ]]> http://hipwader.com/2011/fly-fishing-and-travel-equipment-review-series-reels ]]> http://hipwader.com/2011/fly-fishing-the-bow-2010 http://hipwader.com/2011/if4-announces-3-toronto-screenings-in-february-2011 ]]> http://hipwader.com/2011/if4-international-fly-fishing-film-festival ]]> http://hipwader.com/2008/big-news-danielsson-fly-reels ]]> http://hipwader.com/2008/danielsson-fly-reels-pro-staff-program ]]> http://hipwader.com/2007/crowsnest-river-alberta ]]> http://hipwader.com/2007/bow-river-alberta ]]> http://hipwader.com/2007/danielsson-control-fly-reels ]]> http://hipwader.com/2007/hatch-fly-reel-review
