I have played a bit with the rather impressive and similar looking, roughly 150 Shimano Aero Spin 4000, and although it's hardly a heavyweight at 330g, I cannot tell you how much lighter and even more "together" this brand new AR-C Aero C14+ reel feels when you strap it to a rod and go fishing with it - at 255g it's obviously lighter (good maths eh ??!!), but with that weight saving it feels like a completely different reel again
That provides a degree of versatility that cant be matched in this category
A heavier lure sinks faster and stays stable in wind
But despite the problems associated with click-and-pawl reels (more on those later), many anglers, especially those fascinated by the history, tradition, and romance of fly fishing, keep click-and-pawl reels as prized pieces in their collections
You might use an ultra-light power rod for fishing small fish, such as brook trout or bluegillan extra heavy-rated rod for fishing Tarpon
