I have a large water oak on my property line that drops quite a bit of small sticks and leaves in my yard. My rotary mower picks these up no problem, even larger sticks about the diameter of a finger. I try to always walk the yard and pick up larger ones like this before I mow though. I am considering switching to a reel mower, but I am wondering if a reel mower could handle small sticks and lots of leaves without any issues. There's nothing I can do about the tree. A lot of the trash is seasonal, but I don't want to have to mow with my rotary to vacuum up the trash before I cut with a reel mower. I wasn't sure if this kind of trash would damage the blades or jam the reel. Thanks.

Use the scarifier or dethatcher first. Clean the lawn. And then mow with the reel mower. Its just better to protect your reel...
