what is a good beginner fly fishing reel?
I have a fenwick ff80-3 that my dad gave to me and im looking for a good beginner reel to go with it so i can try fly fishing in about 2 weeks from now, maybe a kit that has some flys with it as well and the string that goes with it. Does anyone know of a good beginner set up i can use.
Thanks alot.
One important thing to remember about most fly reels (the exception is hard core saltwater reels) is that it is simply a place to keep your line.
I would recommend the Pflueger reels, I have two of them and they work well.
