Feel is important because your fishing reel lives and operates in your hands. The handle turns and drives the reel’s gears; the paddle at the end of the handle spins as it is grasped between your finger and thumb. The spool on a baitcasting reel spins on its shaft, supported by bearings; the spool on a spinning reel oscillates up and down while the rotor and bail revolve around it. The drag adjustment knob, star, or lever have a certain feel on every reel, too, as does the drag itself when the spool spins in reverse against its internal washers. Does all this motion feel smooth, solid, and balanced? Do touch surfaces feel satisfying and intuitive? Finally, all reels must be held – the body or frame in the case of a casting reel, and the foot and stem in the case of a spinning reel. Does the reel fit well and feel comfortable and solid in your hand? All of these sensations constitute how a reel “feels,” and SEVIIN reels feel like the precision instruments they are – designed and built to elevate the angling experience instead of detracting from it.
