Click pawl reels are the Harley Davidson of the river

A clicker left on makes me boil
And to this I shall remain loyal
Quiet that racket!
The noise, I can't hack it.
I fear that my pants I shall soil.

Sheesh! Here we go again. Chromers, learn to get your nomenclature correct. Please! For the umpteenth time, there is no fvcking such thing as a "click pawl" reel. Go ahead, take one apart. Examine each and every part - there aren't many. There is no "click" or "clicker." You'll find that there are a spring, a pawl, posts to hook the spring and the pawl onto, and a gear wheel on the backside of the reel spool. See, no fvcking clicker! It ain't there!

Spring and pawl reels are simplicity itself. And durable longevity, outlasting Harleys by a long shot. As others have mentioned, if the sound offends you, clearly you're standing too close. Move along, son.

This is all fine and well but at the end of the day this nomenclature issue is only important to those who wear argyle vests when angling and perhaps a tie.
 
It's an Ascot...not a tie

The anglers with loud screeching reels
They do get some strange angry feels
Silence be golden
To that I'm beholden
But I don't give a fuck what you think

😁

Wrong. I'm in the camp where words matter. Choosing the wrong words is indicative of ignorance or simply not giving a damn; either way, misunderstanding or confusion ensues.

It's not giving a damn. It's all noise makers for me. Do you enjoy fireworks as well? Personally I feel they destroy the solitude of summer and timberland. I don't care to distinguish a husker do from a husker don't. It's all the same thing to me.

Just to be fair I also don't think a blue water salt reel is needed with it's diamond impregnated titanium drag for steelhead and salmon. Neither is that overpriced grateful Dead edition Abel. I get it, you smoked weed with Jerry that one time at your cousin's friend's girls house. It still doesn't excuse you fixation with basic music that's overrated.
 
I read on an internet forum
Loud reels are a breach of decorum
So many agreed, I then felt the need
To run out and buy five straight away
Well the sound that it made caused so many dismay, that they pulled out their phones to complain
They posted their gripes, and old stereotypes
As if someone would care what they said
They're so easily triggered, just like I figured
Had the run to myself for the day.

So what is proper drag reel attire? A giant orange STLHD hoodie with the hood pulled up over your flat brim camo Busch hat, giant reflector sunglasses, and a $500 rain jacket tucked inside your waders? Probably a giant halibut sized net tucked in your wading belt that keeps fighting with the sling pack that has 3 spare spoools, 14 different size tips, 4 tube fly boxes and one spool of 6# floro tippet?

I don't know, I'm appealing the ruling on this one to @Wadin' Boot .
Rhyming "scene" with "obscene" is pushing it, but surely it's not legal to rhyme "boil" with "boil."

We need more Fisher poets

There was once a man from Nantucket
Stored Salmo-G's spring and pawls in a bucket
Threw in some brine
Some water and time
Now all Salmo's click and pawls are totally fuck-ed

Click, click, click to the pawl,
Dustin prefers to hear nothing at all.
Who would have thought that old fishing gear,
Would give Mr. Chromers a pain in the ear?

It doesn't have to be silent. But like a motor tuned and breathing right a reel should have a pleasing note when drag is being peeled. The click pawl remind me of the kids and their shitty Honda farting in a can. It's all noise and no business. My ross canyon or even the humble old CLA tells you what's happening without announcing it to the flat brim hat kids filming the circus on their phones. A respectable sound for a respectable angler and not a spectacle.

My Ross CLAs are by far my favorite reels.
