what is large arbor on a fly reel ?

The arbor is the portion of the reel that stores the fly line & backing. A large arbor enables the angler to take up line more quickly based on the larger circumference per turn of the handle. The disadvantage to most large arbor reels is that it reduces the amount of backing that can be stored on the reel. This Martin Multiplier compensates for this with a retrieval ratio of 3:1. This is particularly useful when fighting fast, long running big game fish like Steelhead & Salmon.

large arbor means the size of the center of the spool that line is wound around. Larger arbor sizes are preferred in order to reduce line memory. Line memory is the coiling effect line gets from being wound. Less coil equals better and farther casting. Hope this answers your question.

large arbor refers to the diameter at the spool base. the bigger the diameter at spool base the more line you retrieve per crank of the reel.you can recover your line faster and with less effort, great when a fish runs back at you.

The rod is primarily, if not completely, fiberglas. The action is slow, with a bend that extends nearly to the handle. This action does not lend itself to distance, but instead to accuracy of presentation. I have cast a fly out to about 35 feet using 5-weight weight-forward Rio line. Hope this helps.

Arbor on this grinder is 5/8 in. This is pretty standard for small angle grinders. It also comes with backing and locking flanges for most all grinding, sanding and flat discs. Do look-out for 3M discs, some require a special adaptor.

Not sure it's necessarily designed for flies of that size, but we've nabbed some pretty giant blowflies/carrion flies in ours...worth a shot to check it out. Do be aware that the "BIG" in "big bag" refers only to the size of the bag for this product.

The arbor is a standard 7/8" inch ring. That is a standard size that is the same for 5" and 7" grinders. You will find discs anywhere there are discs. you can flip the retaining washer over for flat zip cut wheels as well, although I would probably buy depressed center zip cut wheels instead as they are stronger. The threaded shaft is a 5/8 thread if you need to screw anything on to it.

First I would have recommended a higher drag weight on the reel. It sounds like you want heavy fish, so I would go with the 300 yds. You also may want to consider going to 50 lb. line, between your rod and the drag you can handle some pretty large fish with this set up. Remember to balance you drag with the weight recommendation of the rod builder.

I think it's size 6. Graphite rod I think also, didn't pay attention as much. My reel broke within the first year, it's a really flimsy made aluminum one. It's great as a starter rod, but don't expect it to last long.

Unfortunately, 1" is the largest arbor size that is available for Diablo saw blades.

I have had a abu garcia C4 6500. That had to be sent back because the gears started to strip out, it was a great reel before that. I'm just rough on reels because i throw really big lures and fish for musky 4 or 5 times a week. I strongly recommend the calcutta 400b. It casts flawlessly after adjusting the variable break system( I turned 4 brakes on and 2 off). It came with just 2 brakes on and I had some backlashes. It is a very strong and durable reel and worth every penny. If you want something alittle more high speed the revo toro NacL by abu garcia costs alittle bit more, but It is great and you will love it's casting abilities. But the calcutta is in my opinion better than the C3 or c4 by a long shot and worth the extra money because you a buying a reel that you can past down to your kids one day. Justin Britts

This rod can be used for fly or spinning so either or both reels will work. I would probably opt for spinning if the person is just getting started.

No it is a standard reel for bass trout etc. Outstanding reel with the smoothest action I have ever used.

This reel is larger than a zebco for fishing, it's not all that heavy though.

The reel came set up for left handed casting thus right hand retrieving the fly line. Since I want to cast with my right hand and retrieve the fly line with my left hand, I removed the thumb nut on the reel and turn the bearing up side down for the left hand retrieve. So, it could be set up as either left hand or right hand fly line retrieve. Please note that - no instruction or parts list with the reel.

I have 100 lb. braid on mine and it seems to have enough drag to accommodate it. This reel is a good one for surf or pier.

the reel is aluminum i think. some kind of metal. a lot more sturdy than i thought it would be.

I think 12# is a bit large for a spinning reel maybe 10#. But if you want to try it size 4000 would be good. Buy the way they are a great reel. Hope this helps. Craig
