Those saying the reel is just a line holder haven't
1) fished for big trout with fine tippet
2) fished for even bigger fish that make your reel scream.
But yeah.. for most fishing with a 4-6 weight, you don't necessarily need a great reel. But when you need it... (above scenario with a big fish on fine tippet), you'll be crying when the fish makes a run and breaks off because your "drag" wasn't smooth or you fumbled the line while hand retrieving.
