bill ballan fly fishing reels Ballan, Bill Ballan Hairloom Midge SV

Our tip: Because of its low stretch, a braided fishing line is not always the appropriate choice for every angling method

One profile that's good to carry is a nymph, such as Uncle Buck's May Fly Rigged Soft Bait

What sets this reel apart is its sealed 10-bearing system that provides exceptional protection in both harsh saltwater environments and muddy freshwater conditions

Remember that whilst you can catch both big and small fish on a small hook, you can?only?catch a big fish on a big hook

I like this method because you can work on the fly

I didn't feel it was exceptional at avoiding line twist, but it wasn't horrible either
