A Fishing reel is a device used for deployment and retrieval of fishing line using a spool mounted on axle. Your fly fishing reel can be as important as your fly fishing rod. Fly reels are normally manual, single action designs. A rotating handle on the side of the reel rotates the spool which retreives the fishing line, usually at a 1:1 ratio ( i.e one complete revolution of the handle equals one revolution of the spool) .Most fly fishing reels are made up of aluminium with a solid handle that is easy to handle. Choosing the Fly fishing reel depends a lot on what type of fishing you are doing. If you are fishing a large game fish you will want one that can handle pressure and weight of the fish.If you are fishing just trout or a bass you will want a standard reel .The centrepin reel is also used for coarse fishing( A fishing method used for catching rare species of fish) where one can use it to catch trout( a species of a fish) on a fast flowing river .
