Fly Fishing Tackle: Greys G Tec 350 Fly Reel Review

Being an avid fly fisherman, I'm forever seeking new tackle. Reels are especially tempting to me. In fact, I'm quite a collector of high quality reels. One that I've lately added to my collection is the Greys G
Tec 350. Here is the reason I decided on it.

Fly Fishing Tackle - Information on the Greys G Tec 350 Fly Reel

This is a disc drag large arbour fly fishing reel which has an outstanding price-performance ratio. A United Kingdom product, the G Tec 350 has a superior pattern that incorporates a verified multi-disc drag system. Precision built from bar stock, the fishing reel is designed with a cageless, large arbour and is completely balanced. With a lot of facility for backing, the 350 has a ribbed, soft-touch handle that's simple to grip in all kinds of weather. The hard-wearing, solid anodised titanium finish of the top grade aluminium body offers this fishing reel a glossy, elegant look.

Fly Fishing Tackle - Additional Qualities of the G Tec 350

The G Tec 350 is designed with four Rulon disk brake pads to exact flawless control. Built from a superior grade alloy, the fishing reel has a good amount of drilled airing holes that also cut the weight to just 6 ounces (173 grams). The reel's pattern is eye-catching, having red detailing on the fishing reel foot and a ribbed, soft touch red handle on its spool. The drag control knob is found on the back of the cage. One aspect you are positive to appreciate in wintry, wet weather is the knurling along the outer rim of the drag knob that requires merely a single turn to alter the drag from none to completely on.

Fly Fishing Tackle - Last Viewpoint on the G Tec 350 Fly Reel

It's rather easy to change out the spool via a spring loaded lever situated on the spool. Simply work the lever and take off the spool. To change the fishing reel from left handed to right handed wind, basically just remove the spool then remove the retaining cap inside the spool in order to access the main bearing. Then, just take off the bearing, flip it over and put on the cap. There's little or no line memory, because of the giving width of the spool and the large arbour. This is what Greys themselves declare concerning this remarkable fishing reel:

Truly, this reel has an exclusive style; however, what really counts is the way it operates—and this is excellently. All anglers, including big fish anglers, contest anglers, as well as those who have a need to land every fish are pleased with the four Rulon disc brake pads that enable full management all through the fight. With the indisputably large arbour, even four weight lines will touch down proficiently with very little memory. This is predominantly necessary for dry fly and buzzer work. The superior quality of the reel is highly expressed in the details; this would include the corrugated soft touch handle that extends an infallible grip during any kind of weather.
