Description
This is another Fly Reel I designed a few years ago. This one is Ultralight Design and was designed and paired this with a cheap [Eagle Claw Featherlight 3/4 Line Weight Fly Rod](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00019NAOS/) I found on Amazon.
Let me start by saying I know very little about fly fishing and not a damn thing about fly reel design. Much like my other [printed fly reel](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1999455) I made this just to see if I could.
This is a simple Click and Pawl design reel - it uses a spring, ball, and dents designed into the spool to control the very "limited" drag. It was designed to use your hand against the outer spools rim if you need more drag.
**Notice - ** If your looking at this think it would be a cheap way to get into fly fishing ***I highly recommend going another route.*** Shorter/lighter fly rods are harder to cast... get something better/larger or you will just get frustrated and quit.
Ok.... with all that out of the way on
