When do you need a specialist reel?
When you are after one big fish, the reel has to cope with a long fight close to snags. A smooth drag that does not judder is the key feature, as a lighter hooklength will not take sudden jerks.
Check line capacity and body material. A metal-bodied reel stays rigid under pressure, and sealed bearings cope with damp.
Sizes 3000-5000 suit most specialist rods. Choose a reel that balances the rod, as a well-matched outfit stays comfortable over a long day.
