Overview
Built for light rods rather than big fish, the Redington Zero is an ultralight click-and-pawl trout reel with a large arbor and die-cast construction.
Click-and-pawl reels sit at the opposite end of the spectrum from disc-drag reels with dial-in tension, and the Zero is unapologetic about that trade-off. It is a reel built around simplicity rather than features.
- Click and pawl clicker drag system
- Large arbor spool design
- Die-cast metal construction
- Twin-molded soft-touch handle
Who it's for
This is built for anglers fishing light rods, roughly 1wt to 4wt, on small streams for trout. Anglers targeting steelhead, salmon or other fish that need real drag control should look at a disc-drag reel instead.
Pros and cons

- Large arbor speeds up line retrieval
- Converts between right and left hand retrieve
- Includes a padded storage pouch

- Clicker runs loud until it breaks in
- Limited backing and line capacity

Does the Redington Zero fly reel have adjustable drag?
No, it uses a spring-loaded click-and-pawl clicker drag with fixed resistance rather than a dial-in system.
