Trotting with a Closed-Face Reel

@MarkWintleFishing Closed-face reels have been around for 60 years and I’ve owned and used three (ABU 505, ABU 506 & Daiwa 120) over the years. Although it’s hard to find a decent one nowadays they still have their advocates. Their design makes them ideal for trotting in windy condition but there is a tendency for the line to bed in after landing a big fish.
