Tracking reels
First, a little history of the storage reel. It is the simplest type of spool, used by unwinding the line from the drum, making the cast, and then putting any remaining line back on the drum. This is further developed into the fly reel, which is used for fly fishing. This type of spool is used to bait big fish and to prevent the fly line from twisting. An important aspect is the simplicity of the spool shape, but you can't ignore aspects such as quick handling, gear wheels and bearings that increase the gear ratio. Quiet operation, a good braking system and the right handle design are also essential. TackleBait's webshop offers all types of fly reels, regardless of size, type, design and construction.
Fly-fishing is a world of its own among fishing methods: it is delicate, precise and requires a high level of technical knowledge. In this method, the consistency of the tackle is essential, as the bait, line, rod and reel must fit together perfectly. In fly fishing, it is not the weight of the bait itself that propels the tackle forward, as in other methods, but the weight of the fly line, so this balance is key to the accuracy and distance of the cast.
As a general rule, the size of the fly rod is determined by the line gauge, which is chosen aclineing to the size of the fish and the type of bait. The simplest and safest method is to match the spool to the line class of the rod - for example, if you are using a class 5 rod, you should choose a class 5 spool. This will avoid loss of balance and inaccurate casting.
Modern spinning reels are not only practical but also aesthetically pleasing. High quality brakes, smooth running and ergonomic design all contribute to an impeccable experience. The Garbolino, for example, combines classic design with innovative technologies, so that even those who stick to traditional style will find what they're looking for. Trabucco 's fly reels stand out for their precise braking system and reliability - spools built to last. The Delphin brand is particularly popular with those looking for a great value for money yet reliable fly reel.
It's also important to pay attention to the weight of the spool - too heavy a spool can throw the rod off balance, and too light can make the whole rig unstable. So it is always worth trying or checking the specifications. It's also worth considering practical considerations such as a replaceable drum reserve, a durable spool housing or stainless steel parts, especially if you're using the gear in salt water.
Whether you're dry-flying in a summer stream or hunting for larger trout in alpine waters, one thing is certain: choosing the right fly rod is essential to success.
