abel fly reel TR In Fish Graphics 4/5 / Native Brook Trout pawl sound SDF – Mayfly Outdoors

From her genre-busting rise in country music as a teenager to the economic juggernaut that is the Eras Tour, Taylor Swift has blazed a path that is uniquely hers

I grabbed these specs for the reel off the internet: Japanese market lure reel Saltwater capable 4 stainless steel HPCR ball bearing + 1 roller bearing Salt Shield ball bearing on inner pinion gear Water shield carbon matrix hybrid drag system (stick that in your pipe!) Rocket line management (absolutely no clue what this means!) Aluminium machine cut handle Soft touch handle knob Tough Dura-Metal integrated body Silent oscillation COG design for smooth rotation 2WAY drag system Always-ON Instant anti-reverse (without ON-OFF lever) Rocket spool lip (sounds good!) Gear ratio: 6.2: 1 Maximum drag force: 5kg Recovery 96cm Line capacity (m) Nylon / Braid: 0.235mm (8lb)/110m PE1.2/150m Weight: 268g (but I weighed it at 267g filled up with braid) I plumped for the excellent red coloured Berkley Sick X8 braid in the 24lb version and I was pleased to see that I got a flat line-lay right out of the box (the reel requires some backing if you load up with a typical 150m spool of roughly 20lb braid)

This helps prevent dangerous springback
