As passionate fly fisherman, I’m forever in search of new tackle. Reels are particularly tempting to me. The truth is, I’m somewhat a collector of superior quality reels. One that I’ve lately added to my grouping is the Greys G
Tec 350. Here’s why I decided on it.

Fly Fishing Tackle – Facts Concerning the Greys G Tec 350 Fly Reel

This model is a disc drag large arbour fly fishing reel which has an excellent price-performance ratio. A United Kingdom product, the G Tec 350 is designed using a sophisticated design that uses an established multi-disc drag system. Precision produced from bar stock, the fishing reel is designed with a cageless, large arbour and is totally balanced. With lots of capacity for backing, the 350 is equipped with a ribbed, soft-touch handle that is simple to grip in all sorts of weather. The durable, firm anodised titanium finish of the high grade aluminium body extends this fishing reel a smooth, well-designed look.

Fly Fishing Tackle – Other Features of the G Tec 350

The G Tec 350 is manufactured with four Rulon disk brake pads for perfect control. Produced from a quality grade alloy, the fishing reel has a considerable amount of drilled aeration holes that also reduce the weight to merely 6 ounces (173 grams). The reel’s design is eye-catching, having red detailing on the fishing reel foot along with a ribbed, soft touch red handle on the spool. The drag control knob is located on the rear of the cage. One specific quality you are positive to welcome in bitter, soggy weather would be the knurling along the outer rim of the drag knob that requires merely a single turn to switch the drag from none to entirely on.

Fly Fishing Tackle – Last Thoughts on the G Tec 350 Fly Reel

It’s very effortless to remove the spool by means of a spring loaded lever fixed on the spool. Merely adjust the lever and lift off the spool. To transfer the fishing reel from left handed to right handed wind, basically just remove the spool and undo the retaining cap on the inside of the spool in order to access the main bearing. Then, simply remove the bearing, turn it over and put on the cap. There’s little or no line memory, because of the liberal width of the spool and also the large arbour. Here is what Greys themselves think regarding this outstanding fishing reel:

Truly, this reel has an exclusive style; however, what really counts is the way it operates—and this is excellently. All anglers, including big fish anglers, contest anglers, as well as those who have a need to land every fish are pleased with the four Rulon disc brake pads that enable full management all through the fight. With the indisputably large arbour, even four weight lines will touch down proficiently with very little memory. This is predominantly necessary for dry fly and buzzer work. The superior quality of the reel is highly expressed in the details; this would include the corrugated soft touch handle that extends an infallible grip during any kind of weather.
