Click pawl reels are the Harley Davidson of the river

[albula]

I hear you over there revving that thing constantly wrecking everybody's nice time.

Some people would bitch about getting hung with a brand new rope.

 

[bobduck]

Damn! All my reels are disc drags but when I have a steelhead running out line and backing I'd love to hear the noise I don't get. Just one more clue that the run is done and I can start my on the reel retrieve. To my good fortune, I've made this lament many times. So it really doesn't matter, it's all good.

 

[Dustin Chromers]

You can make them even LOUDER if you engage both pawls.

Sure. You perverts would just straight pipe it.

 

[Dustin Chromers]

At least we aren't arguing about beads

You seriously just had to bring it up?!

those click pawl's can be so damn annoying to us there for the zen..

 

[DanielOcean]

Oh look Dustin's quarterly visit to let us know hes alive. Counter argument, you could argue that noisy reels are simply for the hearing impaired. It is a feature designed to help those with disabilities. If we had it Dustin's way we would have disc drag reels across the board and all handicap ramps will be turned to boulders.

My extensive fleet of original Abel TR’s will never be surrendered.

Maybe @Dustin Chromers is just jealous his reels do not make the most noise.

Don't open that can of worms please. I could drone on endlessly about my hate of aerial annoyance.

I don't need to announce my angling prowess. It speaks for itself. In short I don't need a loud reel to tell me I'm better than everyone else.

Wrong! There would be no taxpayer funded ramps. You would simply rely on rugged individualism to get to the honey hole.

On the flip side a tax on loud reels is something I would be for. Like a carbon tax but for infernal noise. We could call it The Smails act. Harleys would obviously be subject to the tax under the act as well.

I've never considered Harley and performance to be in the same sentence, maybe broken & on side of the road!

Besides the Hardy Perfect is, after all, Perfect!

Reform or get left behind

 

[Dustin Chromers]

Hardly perfect

 

[skyriver]

Was it @jeradjames that got told if he used a Perfect on left-hand wind it would come apart? Sounds like a Harley. Or the shop guy has a Harley and works on it at the boat ramp while cranking his Turtlebox to impress his bros.

 

[Paige]

Hardly perfect

Considering there is Perfect reels well over 100 yrs old still performing Perfectly, I'd say you are Perfectly misinformed

They are the sound of music!

An entire century of noise pollution. You should be back taxed

I've got four of them that are even older than I am. They are as healthy as the day they were born. Sure wish that I could say that.
