TR: I love the sound of a Hardy in the Morning - a little wordy

Some of us easterners are like that too. I take off
the noisemaker part as soon as I get a new reel.
------------
I like the sound cuz if any other fly fisherpersons are around it gives me a
chance to draw attention to that huge trout doing the line eating run mambo!

Histrionic Chris

Oh yeah, I've got the gall to insist that regular posters to this

Where in the hell do you get the gall to be a top posting ****tard ?

Are you "SPECIAL" or just rude, stupid and lazy ?

That's just one of the reasons I dislike them. :-)

Each reel is different, of course, but what you want to
look for inside the reel is a gear and something like a
plastic or thin metal tab set against it like a baseball
card against the spokes of a bicycle. If you do find
something like that, see whether you can remove it.

Thanks.

On some reels the pawl (the baseball card in Greg's analogy) can be
disengaged by simply turning it......it doesn't need to be removed.
Remember though, that unless there is another braking mechanism or "drag"
disengaging the pawl WILL result in large quantities of line piled up around
your feet and/or snarled line on the spool whenever a pull on the line
causes the spool to spin. The original purpose of the click mechanism was
to prevent just such occurrences. On cheap reels lacking any other
mechanism that is still its function. Where there is another
mechanism.....and you shouldn't have any trouble at all recognizing it if
it's there....you can safely disengage or remove the pawl as long as it
isn't, as in the unusual case Greg mentioned, an integral part of that
mechanism. In general, when there is an adjustable drag mechanism, the
click drag is superfluous and, as has been noted, exists only to announce to
anyone nearby that Moby fish is tearing line off your reel.

Wayne, I've got a Bougle with less than 10 hours fishing on it and I
don't
care for the style, design, functionality OR the clatter. If you're
interested in a possible sale/swap, drop me an email.


What are you looking for in return?


The Bougle, loaded with a DT 5wt, is currently the reel I use on that nice
little bamboo rod that was wrested from the clutches of The Ulcerous Dwarf
of Pahrump and raffled to yours truly at "Penns 2003: Return of the Son of
the Biblical Flood". (A great clave, BTW). I would need a nice reel with
the same (small) foot size as the reel seat on said rod does not accept all
reel foot sizes. If the replacement reel could sound less like an amplified
jake brake on an unlubricated 1962 Peterbilt, so much the better.

Whatchagot?
