A few key features to look at when buying a fly rod are: You should first know that different fly reels use different types drag mechanisms. These types of drag mechanism can be classified into Click-and pawl, Disc Drag, Large-arbor and Mid-arbor. You should also know what size and type of arbor each reel has. Here are some examples.
Click-and-pawl
The classic model for fly fishing is the click-and pawl fly reel. They are named after the mechanism they use to function. The metal tooth or pawl attaching to the spool makes a "click". The pawl makes contact with the gear at the top, which creates resistance. The pawl then moves the reel forward. A small spring is attached to the reel frame's center, which provides resistance to the pawl as well as the drag.
Disc drag
Disc drag is a mechanical device that slows down a line as the fish latches on to it. Cork washers are smoother than many man-made polymers and plastics. They prevent sticking and snagging, and have a smooth ramp. In the fly fishing world, there are two basic types of disc drags: sealed drum and draw-bar drag. Each type has its benefits and drawbacks. You should choose one that suits your needs.
Large-arbor
A large-arbor fly reel is a must-have for any angler who likes to fish for trout, salmon, or steelhead. These reels require large spools. The speed at which the line can be retrieved is affected by how big the center spool. Larger arbor fly reels can retrieve up to nine inches per turn, compared to smaller arbor reels. Because the fly fisher typically carries a long length of fly line on his or her foot, large-arbor reels can significantly improve the speed at which the line is retrieved.
Mid-arbor
There are some key differences between large and mid-arbor fly-reel models. Large-arbor fly reels are able to deliver high-speed line retrieval, while mid-arbor fly reels are more suitable for freshwater fly fishing. Both fly reels have their advantages. Fly reels made from mid-arbor are more durable than their larger counterparts. Mid-arbor reels also come at a lower price, starting at $145. They offer full performance and the best value for money in the industry.
Anodized
Anodized fly reel have many benefits. They are more durable and resistant to dents. Because aluminum is soft and light, anodizing makes it more durable. However, it's not a perfect solution for every reel, so be sure to check the manufacturer's specifications carefully. Here's how anodizing works.
