Many generations of fly fishermen have favored the single action or click reel and it seems to meet all re­quirements, being free from complications and of suffi­cient speed and power for all practical purposes.

The single action reel is a simple winch without gear­ing, making one turn of the spool to each revolution of the handle. The click consists of a toothed wheel (rachet) working against a wedge-shaped piece of metal (pawl) supported by a spring to permit move­ment in either direction, the idea being to retard the action of the reel enough to prevent over-running. The contact of the pawl against the revolving rachet produces a rapid clicking sound known as " the song of the reel," very pleasing to the ears of all true anglers and of great inspirational value to the poeti­cally inclined. The click mechanism is generally placed in the rear end of the reel and is either per­manent or actuated by a sliding button on the tail plate.
