Choosing a Fly Reel 

Start with the rod and line system the reel needs to support. Consider reel size, line capacity and how the reel fits the overall setup before comparing additional features. 

The right trout reel should work as part of the complete rod, reel and line system rather than being chosen on a single feature alone. Compare the specifications of each reel against the fishing setup you plan to use.
