Overview
A graphite large-arbor fly reel with a center disc drag, available in 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8 sizes, weighing roughly 4.2 to 5.3 oz.

- Graphite large-arbor construction
- Center disc drag system
- One-way bearing for left or right hand retrieve
Who it's for
Fly anglers who want an inexpensive reel to hold line rather than fight big fish on the drag will get the most from this, including beginners and anyone stocking spares for different lines. Less suited to anglers targeting fish likely to run deep into backing, where drag quality matters more.
Pros and cons
- Light weight balances well on smaller rods
- Converts easily between left and right hand retrieve
- Priced well below comparable name-brand reels
- Drag is light compared to premium reels
- Gap between reel body and cassette can catch line
