Hi Zhu. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to get out on the river with the new reel yet. I really like its looks and how it works. Once I've had a chance to fish with it, I'll tell you more—I’m sure it will all be good. I,ll send you a pic of the first trout with your reel.
Hi Jose Luis, thank you for your kind words! We're glad you like the reel’s looks and functionality. We look forward to hearing about your first catch with it—please do send us that picture! Happy fishing!
Todella hieno ja hyvin tehty pieni perhokela jonka ulkonäön kruunaa agaattirengas joka ohjaa siiman kelalle ja kelatessa tietenkin räikkä ääni
Hi Klaus, we're thrilled to hear you love the design and craftsmanship of the Wood1 fly reel! The agate ring and clicking sound really do add to its charm. Thanks for your kind words!
Great product. I've been fishing a 5wt orvis encounter and decided to break into steelheading. I bought the 6wt 8'. It is like butter, easily gets 20 yds with a basic overhead cast, gives great feed back through the entire cast and is highly accurate. This rod easily will match the comfort of higher end rods like sage or Loomis.
Hi Steve, thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear the combo is meeting your expectations and enhancing your steelheading adventures. Enjoy every cast!
Like the drag, light weight, easy to switch from right to left hand retrieve. Very nice fly reel!

I recently treated myself to the incredible fly reel, and let me tell you, I am beyond impressed! The fact that it's ambidextrous is an absolute game-changer, offering unmatched convenience for both right and left-handed anglers. I can switch between hands effortlessly!

In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend this fly reel to every angler out there seeking a reliable and user-friendly option. With its ambidextrous design and durable aluminum alloy build, this reel is a top-of-the-line choice for any fishing expedition.

I said in my early review this reel really looks the part attached to a bamboo fly rod. as is a small reel That 3 way we'll never really find out whether it can handle big fish but that's not what I got it for I got it for the overall look and vibe.

Hi everybody,
i like the reel it is good for my silk flyline. I adjusted the escapement of the spring a little softer, which was too hard for me.
Kind regards
Harry

Why anglers choose it as their trout reel
On small streams and spring creeks, a click-pawl reel is light, simple and quick to strip line from — which is why many anglers consider this style the best trout reel for dry-fly and nymph fishing. Pick the 2.5" size for 3/4wt rods or the 3" size for 5/6wt rods.
FAQ
Which size is best for trout fishing?
The 3/4wt 2.5" suits small streams and light rods; the 5/6wt 3" is the most versatile choice among our fly fishing reels for trout.
Does a click-pawl reel have enough drag?
For most trout, yes — you control larger fish with palm pressure on the rim. For salmon or steelhead, choose a reel with an adjustable carbon drag.
