A Perfect Fishing Reel????

[SoCalAngler]

I like the thought of this Jeri but I feel the variables are just too great. Fish targeted, method to entice a bite, location, depth and much more goes into what makes a reel right for the job at hand. Even if your fishing the same area targeting the same type of fish the very next day or even a hour later, different types of gear may be better suited for the feeding behavior of the fish at that time. So it is my feeling that there will never be one "perfect" reel made.

One thing I don't understand though is when people say they like X reel when they have never even tried Y reel. Let's use Penn reels as an example. I understand getting a older reel and changing parts to get a reel to perform and have the durability your looking for but how could anyone compare it to a newer design having never fished those reels? I see this often and lets use a tricked out 113 compared to a Baja Special. I see some say they like their double dogged, narrowed spool and framed 113H over the 113HN but they have never picked up a Baja Special let alone landed a fish on one. I just don't get it.

I do understand doing mods to your gear to get it to fish the way you want, heck I'm here aren't I, but if you haven't tried every reel ever made how in the world can you say what you use is the best?

The perfect reel may be the one you are holding with the drag screaming. It rarely get better than that.
