BV2-500 6.1:1 / 3.1:1 30 lbs 18 oz 375/65 yd/lb 45" / 23"
this 350g reel can hold an impressive 165yards of 12lb line, giving you near-total freedom over any type of waterway, and setting you up as an enviable challenger to the wiles of the local fish
A Refined Decision Based on these metrics, I decided three loads were worth another look 81.5 (best velocity spread, 3rd-best ATC, tied 2nd-best group), 83 grains (2nd-best ATC, tied 2nd-best group, 3rd-best velocity spread, tight group center with 83.5), and 83.5 (best ATC, best group, tight group center with 83.0, bad velocity spread)
Materials can be either composites or cork mounted on a metal frame with a trigger to improve control
The only exception to this rule is when a fish jumps into the air
