Quick take
A die-cast fly reel with heavy-duty carbon drag and large arbor spool for faster line retrieval.
The Redington Behemoth 7/8 is a large-arbor fly reel with a die-cast frame, a deep V-spool and a carbon fiber drag. It is sized for 7- and 8-weight lines and holds about 200 yards of 20 lb backing, which suits bass, salmon and light saltwater fly fishing. The ambidextrous design lets you set up the retrieve for either hand.
Best for
- Trout and bass with moderate line retrieval needs
- Saltwater species up to 30 lbs
- Beginners and experienced anglers alike
Skip if
