Fly Fishing Equipment: The Basic Choices in Reels

This article discusses the basics of choosing a fly fishing reel which is right for what you intended to do. Fly fishing reels do two things. They store fly line, and they provide drag against a fish as it fights once landed. Most are made from aluminum. Be sure to check the quality of the reel - some cast molded aluminum reels are made cheaply, and can break more easily than solid block models. Beyond that, two different types of reels exist for the fly fisherman: the Spring and Pawl, and the Disc Drag reel. The Spring and Pawl Fly Reel This is the traditional fly fishing reel.

The Low Down On Worms

The Low Down On Worms We all know that plastic worms are one of the most productive lures there are, but did you know certain worms have special uses? I have a whole tackle box with nothing but plastic worms in it, hundreds of them! Here is what I use a certain worm for: Floating Worm...I use this worm in shallow water and mainly in the spring. I use no weight whatsoever and like to use it when the fish just start thinking about spawning. Stick Worm.....I use this worm in 60-70 degree water. If you use it whacky style it will vibrate on both ends. Paddle Tail.....This is one of my favorite shallow water lures. When I fish vegetation I use long casts and just reel it back in slowly. Gator Tail...This is also a shallow water worm that I use in the summer. It's also great on streams and rivers. Curly Tail....I use this worm in the summer around stumps, docks, timber, lily pads and it's one of my favorite when I fish deep water to 20 feet. Straight Tail...This is one of my favorite
