Overview
Redington built the Run as a large arbor fly reel, machined from die-cast aluminum and sized for 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8 weight rods, with a carbon fiber drag system to control the fight.
Redington markets the Run as an all-water reel rather than a specialist tool for one species, which shows in its size range spanning light trout setups up through heavier redfish and bass weights. The large arbor speeds up line pickup during a fight, and the ported spool trims weight without giving up the die-cast frame's durability. The handle switches between left and right hand retrieve, so it isn't locked to one orientation out of the box.
- Carbon fiber drag system
- Large arbor spool design
- Die-cast aluminum frame with ported inner barrel
- Available in 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8 weights
Who it's for
Fits anglers who want one reel platform across multiple line weights, from trout on light tackle to bass or redfish on heavier setups. Anglers chasing large saltwater species that demand a sealed drag and heavier-duty construction should look further up Redington's lineup.
Pros and cons
- Covers 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8 line weights in one line
- Large arbor speeds up line retrieval mid-fight
- Handle converts between left and right hand retrieve
- Die-cast frame rather than machined construction
Performance notes
The carbon fiber drag is sized to run smooth under sustained pressure rather than deliver a stop-and-start feel, and the large arbor pulls in slack line faster during a fight than a standard arbor would. The die-cast aluminum frame keeps cost down while the ported inner barrel of the spool cuts weight. Handle orientation switches between left and right retrieve, so the reel adapts to either casting hand.
