Last week I posted about a REALLY good Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale that Cheeky recently had. Click here to read that post if you would like. To summarize, they had a buy one, get one free sale and I couldn't resist making a purchase. I bought two of the 5/6 reels that come preloaded with backing, line, and a leader. When the package arrived in the mail on Monday, I was pretty pumped to check out my new equipment.
I was NOT disappointed. Besides the reel looking cool (I dig the green backing and blue fly line) and feeling amazing, there was a sticker, some warranty information, a quality control document, some specs on the reel, and a reel case. The reel itself appears to be really well engineered. The drag is easy to adjust and offers a lot of different settings. One of my favorite qualities of the reel is that is has a quiet retrieve but clicks when line is being taken off the spool. I HATE being the "loud guy" on the water when I am reeling in line, but I LOVE being the "loud guy" when a fish is peeling off line! That's not an ego thing, it's just the fact that the sound means something special is happening.
