Overview

The SF SF-001 is a large arbor fly reel with an anti-corrosion aluminum alloy body, sold pre-loaded with WF5F-90FT floating line, 20lb backing, and a 9ft 4X tapered leader. It comes in 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 weight versions for trout, bass, carp, pike, and panfish.

This is a combo kit rather than a bare reel, so backing, fly line, and leader are already spooled and ready to cast. The disc drag and switchable left or right retrieve make it usable by both new and experienced anglers, and a clicking drag alerts you when line is running out.

  • Includes WF5F-90FT line, 20lb backing, 9ft 4X leader
  • Aluminum alloy body with anti-corrosion treatment
  • Stainless steel main shaft and drag components
  • Convertible left or right hand retrieve

Who it's for

Fits anglers who want a ready-to-fish setup without buying line, backing, and leader separately, particularly those starting out in fly fishing for freshwater species. Anglers who already own a preferred fly line and just need a spare reel body may find the bundled line redundant.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Arrives pre-loaded with line, backing, and leader
  • Switches between left-hand and right-hand retrieve
  • Stainless steel shaft and drag parts resist corrosion
  • Audible clicker helps track running line
Cons
  • Die cast rather than machined construction
  • Only offered in a matte black finish

Performance notes

The large arbor spool is designed to take up slack line faster on hooksets and retrieves, while the disc drag applies resistance to tire fish rather than relying on a simple click and pawl. Stainless steel is used on the main shaft and drag adjustment parts specifically to resist the corrosion that aluminum alone would be more prone to.
