This reel is superb, it works wonderfully, really light with a good capacity of backing (line of 6) and I appreciate this slight noise when the line comes out. I am delighted

This is in my view the ideal, modern trout reel. I have old click and pawl reels that are nostalgic and great, but they do not pick up line fast, have no drag and the line on the spool coils too much. The Fario really has every feature you can want for trout reel -- adequate drag, full cage, easily switch from right to left hand, captive spool knob, lightweight...it really is fantastic, and perfectly balances a Scott Radian 5 wt. We'll see how it holds up on the river, but for now, I really am happy with this reel. In fact, I sold my Hatch reel after getting this. Hatch are fantastic, but do not balance well on the lighter rods sold nowadays.
