I do not own a large arbour reel. Most of my fishing is done on rivers and
streams.
If the fish is on the larger size it generally takes line until it is on the
reel. If it is a smaller fish I generally wade out of the current and onto
shore or shallow water.If I feel there is a need I will wind up any slack
line with one hand while I hold the rod and line in the other hand. It may
seem a bit awkward at first but it becomes second nature after you've done
it a few times.
Regards
Mel

Subject: [VFB] Line control and Large Arbor Reels
So, I have two questions:
1. How do you land a fish on a river with current ? If you do not use the
reel, how do you control the excess line.
2. If you do use a reel, is it a large arbor?
Thanks,
