There are those who believe that reels suitable for largemouth bass fly-fishing should be very simple affairs because they mostly serve as line storage.
Reels can, therefore, be quite inexpensive.
We used to agree, but bass fishing can often demand much more than line storage. Losing a bass of a lifetime is a poor occasion to learn about the important features of good reels. We once lost a big bass while fishing frog imitations in the bulrushes of South Long Lake in central Minnesota. That fish was missed because a cheap reel with an inadequate click drag, worn from use, couldn't prevent the spool from overrunning the fish's initial thrust for freedom. In the struggle to compensate and regain loose line, the fish found just the slack it needed to make an escape.
