Fly Fishing Tackle Review: Daiwa’s New Era Fly Fishing Reel
Fly fishing forms an important part in UK’s history where it is considered to be a gentleman’s sport. It’s where the amount of patience you have is and must be equally important to the amount of fishing skills you have. Little is known about the origins of this form of fishing until Dame Juliana Berners, a prioress of Sopwell nunnery wrote about in 1496 in her book The Treatyse on Fysshynge with an Angle. It continued to develop since then with the appearance of fly fishing organizations, books on the topic. This form of fishing is done by casting a nearly weightless lure that requires a special casting technique and of course special fly fishing tackle. Daiwa is the world’s leading producer and innovator of fishing tackle and started production in 1955. Daiwa places great emphasis on quality and innovation that’s why they produce the best high quality fishing tackle. Let me introduce you to one of Daiwa’s very own innovative fishing tackle, the New Era Fly Fishing Reel. Here’s some information on the New Era Fly Reel.
