Man... just when I start thinking I'm becoming a decent fly-fisherman, someone comes along and pops my bubble.
Tenkara?!?! Google... here I come... [crazy]
To contribute to the post, I have an old automatic reel that was my grandpa's. Not sure of the make/model, but like Windriver said, its heavy. I used it a few times trying to catch bluegill, but I just couldn't bring myself into investing money into line and backing for something I didn't like or prefer.
What advantages do you see in the automatic reels? I'm just asking because I have no experience with them.
