I’ve been on a long waiting list for a Young’s Heritage Center-pin reel which has a removable line guard. Using the reel with a line supposedly helps in preventing line unraveling tangles in windy conditions. Is this true? The dealer has had other Young’s reels in stock that do not come with line guard. I’ve been holding out for Heritage because of dimensions 4.5” X .75” and the line guard. I would be using primarily for steelhead float fishing and carp in the summer. I appreciate any thoughts on the pros and cons of center-pin reels with line guards.
Thank you!
