In reels with ambidextrous handles, a strong and reliable mechanism is required to secure the handle to the gear on either side, leaving no play
You already know what the BG offers, the Socorro SW on the other hand has a full plastic body, side cover, and rotor, a handle that attaches via the ridiculous hexagonal shaft, a drag with 2 tiny washers, two less bearings, and the oscillation block is left to rub against the body
They're designed for large line sizes, additional line, and heavy power when targeting tuna or larger fish
With numerous options on the market, pinpointing the best fly rod for your specific needs can feel overwhelming
