Quick take
Lightweight graphite fly reel with large arbor and central disc drag for stream trout fishing.
This is the 3/4 size of the Aventik HVCE Classic III, a graphite large arbor fly reel with a center disc drag. The large arbor helps pick up line quickly and leaves room for backing, and the reel is ambidextrous so it can be set up for either hand. It suits anglers matching a light 3 or 4 weight fly rod, with a one-way bearing that keeps the retrieve quiet and a clicker you can hear on the drag.
