The bottom line is that you'll have to try suitable reels for a decent period of time. No amount of fishing a stillwater with a pin, and no amount of explanations on a messageboard will make a h'apporth of difference.

It's an absolute nightmare to try to explain and it seems that quite a few people, with little or no experience worth mentioning, simply refuse to countenance that there can possibly be any difference. I know that I'd have been just the same at one point. Now, from the other side of the fence, I can understand the frustrations.
