Fly fishing is a unique style of fishing that uses an angle or a hook. Fly fishing is the widely used method for catching salmon and trout. In recent times, this method has been used for catching wide variety if species which include bass, pike, panfish, carp, snook, redfish, tarpon, striped bass and bonefish. In fly fishing, the fishes are caught with the help of artificial flies that are integrated with the fly lines and fly rods. There are varieties of artificial flies depending on the size, color and weight of the individual artificial fly.
The fly fishing reel or the center pin reel is primarily used for fly fishing. The fly fishing reel, also known as the fly reel, has been very simple in terms of construction and hardly anything has been changed in the device since it was patented in 1874 by Charles F. Orvis. However, there has been considerable improvement in the working of the fly casting reel for fighting larger fishes. The fly fishing reel is operated by casting the rod with one hand while slipping the line with the other hand. The first fly reels did not have any drag and it had a mechanism called click/pawl which avoided overrunning of the reel while pulling the line from the reel. The angler had to apply pressure to the rotating fly fishing reel to slow it down. Although this was fine for small fishes, the fly fishing reels were not suitable for larger fishes. The modern fly fishing reels are more sophisticated in nature and can give high efficiency and resistance to temperatures due to drag friction.
The fly fishing reels are one of the best fishing reels fishers can get. The fly fishing reels are made narrow even if the spool diameter is large. Some of the fly fishing reels does not even have a gear system. The prices of the fly fishing reels are slowly getting popular and so the prices of these fishing reels are also steadily increasing.
