Quick take
A 7/9 wt fly reel with large arbor design and sealed stainless bearings for salmon, steelhead and saltwater species.
This Baikalbass fly reel in gray-green is sized for 7/9 weight lines, a common range for trout, steelhead and bass on fly tackle. Its CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum body is built around a large arbor spool and weighs about 205 grams. The sealed bearings keep water and grit out, and a press-button design lets you switch the retrieve between left and right hand.
