abel rove fly reel 9/11 Slate Gray with Larko Permit Engraving and Platinum Drag Laser engraved fresh and saltwater flies on the reverse side of drag plate that rotate as the line is being retrieved Abel ROVE Reel 4/6 Gloss

This is actually my perferred method

Many modern fly reels have a large arbor

Then a few years ago when I was in Cape Cod with Matt the Fiiish lure designer, I was photographing him casting Crazy Sandeels one morning on the Cape Cod Canal and I noticed how he would cast with a split-grip (above) and then change over to a different grip for the retrieve (below) - he would move his hand so that it sat on the foregrip with the reel stem behind, as in no fingers either side of the reel stem at all

You can learn to do this well on my page Lure Fishing For Steelhead
