" Hi, I’m Jim from Zoar Outdoor on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this segment we’re going to be talking about fishing gear and especially fly fishing. A second major component of fly fishing is the fly reel. As you can see here we have many different sizes of fly reel, ranging from small little tiny trout rot reels, all the way up to large saltwater fly reels. You’ll note that on each of these reels somewhere I made a notation of what the backing is, 300 yards of 40 pounds test—that’s 3 football fields—and a triangle taper 8 weight intermediate. This is a saltwater reel for stripe bass, false albacore, and it’s not the sort of thing that the beginning angler would be using, but this is the range of how high it would go. On the other end of the spectrum is a tiny little reel which isn’t marked, but this is an old Orvis CFO reel, and this has got a 1 weight line on it and about 30 yards of backing. So on a range from 1 weight to 10 weight over here, you have quiet a range of choices. What I recommend is a single action reel, in the case of each of these reels it’s a single action, which means that for every revolution of the spool you bring in the same amount of line, so that one turn like this will bring in about 9 inches of fly line.
