Orvis Hydros Fly Reel V

The NEW Hydros® challenges everything you know about fly reels. This new design is lighter than the previous SL model and also sized more appropriately to match each line weight.
A super large arbor means quick retrieval rates. A sealed carbon drag—the clutch bearing is fully sealed inside the drag mechanism—means this reel is ready for whatever conditions you choose to throw at it. And we made the drag stronger with zero start-up inertia and an asymmetric drag knob for tactile, no-look drag adjustments. A narrow spool means less line stacking, and we added an increased backing capacity. Combined with an ultrafast retrieval rate, this puts you in control of the fight. In black nickel. Imported.
