I’m posting this in this section as I think it will get the most views. I’m looking to upgrade my fly reel. I use it for panfish mostly, very seldom some stream stocked bows, and I want to try targeting white bass with it this summer.
I’m looking for a cheap, but good, fly reel with a disc drag and silent retrieve! The one I have now is an el cheapo with NO drag, just a clicker and it is very annoying. I hooked a 14-15″ bass with it last year and it was a mess. Never seen anyone get a backlash on a fly reel before until that day. I don’t want to spend a ton of money on this, I use it a handful of times a year… but I am starting to get a little more serious about it, so I may upgrade to a good rod and reel later this year. I just need something cheap to get me by until then.
Rod is an 8′ 4/5
Line is WF4
Thank you for any help!
