Ideal Nymph reel designs reflect years of experience fishing nymph techniques and dealing with the problems and challenges that fishing long European style leaders can present. Every aspect of how an angler interacts with a nymphing reel has been carefully considered during the design of Ideal Nymph reels, with top competitive anglers providing their insight and suggestions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA five-axis CNC machined, closed frame provides an ultra-smooth rounded surface to protect ultra-thin fly lines and micro leaders when line is pulled off the reel at any speed from\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eany\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eangle!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge diameter spool spins easily with one quick turn -- allowing several feet of line to be picked up very quickly -- particularly with the larger 3\/4 model designed to put fish on the reel with one quick spin of the spool in most nymphing circumstances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn extra narrow gap and diameter tolerance between the frame and spool which minimizes the potential for line getting caught between those surfaces at any time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposed rim to allow line pick-up by “batting” the outside rim (similar to a center pin reel function) or manipulate manual pressure while fighting a fish with a lighter drag setting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA drag far more capable than a nymph reel could possibly need.
