Whether it's a permit peeling line in the shallows or a tarpon going airborne, you need a reel that won't let you down when it matters most

Rigged with a 4500-size reel and 20lb braid main line, it'll cast 2-4oz sputnik sinkers a mile and has a good action for bait fishing for all sorts of croaker and similar-size fish

I'd actually be concerned if I saw that photogenic straight edge close coil lay on a big saltwater reel

Steelhead anglers like to use much more than this and are generally in the neighborhood of 175 to 200 yards of 20-pound Dacron (or a bit less if using stronger 30-pound test)

Some parts are stainless steel, which helps to make the Lamson Guru S one of the most durable and best fly reels for trout
