When reeling in a fish, do you strip the fish in or actually use the zero-gear-ratio reel to retrieve?



all work done is with rod and hand, the reel is just to pick up extra line you dont need

if you are after something big that will take all the line, then you can use the drag on the reel as well as your hand to adjust the line tension.

its something you get the feel of as far as to how much pressure to put on the line based on your casting leader size

So when trout fishing or LMB fishing on a lake, the rod is the most important thing.

The reel is just the line holder.

That tip can save ppl money.
