Quick take
A lightweight fly reel made of engineering plastic for freshwater and light saltwater use, with an ergonomic drag knob that works in cold weather.
This black OriGlam fly reel has a nylon body and weighs about 90 grams, so it adds little to a light rod. It is set up for right-hand retrieve and a knob-style drag with a maximum of 8 kilograms. A small, rust-resistant reel like this suits freshwater trout, bass and similar fly fishing for anglers just starting out.
Best for
- Beginner fly fishers starting out
- Light freshwater fly fishing for trout and panfish
- Travel and backpacking trips
Skip if
- You need a reel for heavy saltwater species
- You want a sealed disc drag system
Strengths
- Extremely light at 90 grams for minimal arm fatigue

Trade-offs
