Perhaps nothing in an angler’s tackle and gear arsenal is more near and dear to him than his reels. Probably no gear causes us to agonize more over our choices than when we’re considering a new reel, so a look at this sampling should be of keen interest. The trend this year seems to be smaller, stronger and smoother, as you’ll note in most of these 11 new reels shown at this year’s ICAST show. (Prices may have been rounded by pennies.)
