When I ran into a heroic encounter, I could just run in and start it regardless of other people in the area - lack of dps would potentially make it a struggle to complete it on my own, but I never had to worry about dying to elite mobs, even in crappy levelling gear (and once someone starts, other people are often all too happy to join in)

Out of pure instinct I turned the handle of the reel a couple times and flipped the bass straight in the boat
The reel will then need to be placed onto the fly rod in the correct direction based on the retrieve direction so that the line feeds from the bottom of the reel
The drag is more stable, the spool stays cool under pressure, the line lay is cleaner, and the gears tougher
