Re: Pulling in a fish after a poor / long shot.

REELS.

I do have the reel for the Omer XXV, but removed it as I felt it would add to bulk and reduce the tracking speed. Yesterday I tried with the reel, and felt it did not effect my hunting (although no fish in the bay ;>) ! ).

How would you use the reel? I know you can set the drag, but at what stage would you use the reel. Poor gut shots? / 10lb + ? The tempting thing is to get that fish as quickly as possible and giving it line may be difficult in my mind, although understand the reason.

Any tips on how to make best use of the reel if I leave it on.
