The G Tec 350 is manufactured with four Rulon disk brake pads to get impeccable control. Built from a superior grade alloy, the reel has a considerable amount of drilled airing holes that also cut the weight to only 6 ounces (173 grams). The reel’s design is visually pleasing, sporting red detailing on the reel foot and also a ribbed, soft touch red handle on its spool. The drag control knob is located on the back of the cage. One specific quality you are confident to appreciate in wintry, soggy weather would be the knurling along the outer border of the drag knob that requires just one turn to adjust the drag from none to completely on.
Fly Fishing Tackle – Final Views on the G Tec 350 Fly Reel
It’s rather not difficult to change the spool via a spring loaded lever fixed on the spool. Merely operate the lever and take off the spool. To modify the reel from left handed to right handed wind, simply remove the spool and then unscrew the retaining cap on the inside of the spool in order to get to the main bearing. After that, simply remove the bearing, turn it over and return the cap. There’s very little or no line memory, due to the generous width of the spool and the large arbour. Here is what Greys themselves have to say about this remarkable reel:
This reel sports an unmistakeably distinctive look; nonetheless, the performance level it where it truly counts. Its performance is undeniably extraordinary. Any type of fisher, such as competition fishers, large fish pursuers, and the anglers who are looking to land any type fish will gladly welcome the 4 Rulon disc brake pads which will allow absolute control for the duration of the fight. Considering the unusually large arbour, 4 weight lines will even be able to touch down skilfully with practically no memory. In the case of buzzer work and dry fly, this is a critical factor. Every element of the reel highlights its distinction including the ridged soft touch handle which renders the grip fail-safe in weather conditions of any type. (Source: http://fly.greysfishing.com/)
