The BFS gear, for me, really shines on smaller waters, ponds, creeks, and small river situationsespecially areas with limited casting room, such as low-hanging trees and tight quarters
Unlike spinning reels that actively retrieve lures, a fly reel primarily holds your backing and fly line while you strip line in by hand
When I get home from fishing I leave my reel on my rod (my rods sit in a rod rack in the hall and I then put them on a rod rack on my epic Berlingo to go fishing, so they rarely get broken down), I tighten the drag right down, and then I hose down the rod and reel with freshwater from an outside hose - you could of course do this in the shower or whatever, if showering with your rod and reel is your thing
Its one of the nicest travel rods weve tested
