Any ideas for a good reel that is reliable with a good drag system that does not make any clicking noises?
Thanks Gang :D

I don't like a loud clicker on my reels either.
I have several of the Allen trout reels, the old version, and they do not click.

I have lately been using a Ross Flyrise reel, and I really like it better than any others I have tried. It has a faint click, I don't mind it at all. It is a little cheaper then the Allen, but Allen does run sales from time to time.
What's your target species? Panfish, trout, bass, bonefish, trevally, tuna?
I believe Solitude reels are completely silent. They have models to cover most conditions through medium wt saltwater.
Reliable, good drag, easy...Abel
The original Bauer McKenzie reels. They have a quiet outgoing clicker that is easily disabled. Not sure if their newer reels work the same.

I believe that all of the Galvan reels are silent and they are very well made reels with excellent drag systems.

Man, if I actually hook a fish that rips off line I want to hear that Hardy sing it's tune. Don't hear it that often so louder the better.
Can't answer your question, although I'd like to know why you prefer a silent reel? Me, I love to hear a reel sing!
