Playing Fish with Automatic Reels
With an automatic reel, if adjusted to about the right tension for the fish sought, or rather to what the rod will stand, all that is needed to keep the fish from getting a slack line is to keep the tip of the rod up and the third or fourth finger pressed on the lever of the reel, and the fish can only take line against the tension of the reel spring and the action of the rod. When he lets up the reel automatically draws in the slack line, maintaining the same tension until the fish is tired out. When using an automatic reel on a fly rod, if desired, the line may be drawn in and paid out by the left hand, and the reel only used to take up the recovered line. Nearly all fly fishers retrieve the line by hand when a common click reel is used.
