Thread: Fly fishing kit / Combo

I never use the drag on a fly reel, just 'palm' the reel because line drag changes so much depending on rod angle. If a heavy fish makes a sudden run I dont want any drag at the start when the fish takes off but can then add and decrease pressure to suit, so drag quality is a non event. Wide arbor is important. I haven't got an Okumu but they seem very good, I would go for it
