Quick take
A lightweight aluminum fly reel with large arbor design for faster line retrieval on trout and salmon.
This black 5/6wt fly reel has a large-arbor aluminum body that weighs about 150 grams. A disc brake handles the drag, and the one-way bearing can be flipped to switch between left- and right-hand retrieve. It suits freshwater fly fishing for trout, panfish, bass and similar species on rivers, lakes and streams.
Best for
- Fly fishing streams and small rivers for trout
