The Test: FlyTalk hosts Tim Romano and Kirk Deeter chose 15 of the most popular brands and models of fly reel, in three different size classes (trout, bonefish, and big game), then took them to the street.
"Was it scientific? No. But we did do our homework, learning that a max trout burst is about 9 mph; bonefish race at around 23 mph; and big game fish like mako sharks can reach speeds of 50-plus mph. Was it fair? We tested each reel only at the top speed of the fish it was designed to handle, but we'll let you debate that question. Was it honest ... hell yeah. And we've got the videos to prove it."
