Reel Abuse Caught On Video!

I was dreaming about a new fly reel this afternoon and found this video on The Spey Company blog...



DAMN...I wonder how one of my old J. W. Young's clickers would fare after some reel abuse like this!

Great!

You don't want to use the finesse JW Young reel for a Marlin pull... won't you?! : D When people talk about how good is there drag system... I like to show them the video of Sir Lee Wulff in action... Young reel matched with Salmo salar! :o )

Mark...that is a very cool video of Lee Wulff and I am sure that is a big Beaudex reel on the rod that he is using.

Very nice. I'd like to see a version of this reel that would appeal to the SWFF-er. Maybe a larger outside diameter/hidden LA design with traditional look or even s-handle. Materials are saltwater safe and it would be a hoot to use on smaller speedy species.
