Why We Love The RVR Fly Reel

After spending over two years in development, the Bauer RVR Reel has emerged as a true masterpiece of technology. Countless challenges were overcome during the complex machining process to create a reel that delivers superior performance in highly specific trout angling situations.

Every aspect of the RVR's design is carefully engineered to provide us with the exact tools we need for our fishing needs. Whether we're exploring small streams and spring creeks with the 2/3 size, or targeting larger trout in bigger bodies of water with the 4/5 size, each reel variant is optimized for a specific purpose. This optimization is achieved through variations in arbor diameter and capacity, torque settings, and weight distribution, resulting in a perfectly balanced system. And true to Bauer's renowned craftsmanship, the RVR is meticulously handcrafted in Montana, USA, offering a performance that goes beyond its stunning aesthetics.

Key Features:

  • A groundbreaking trout reel suitable for various angling techniques
  • Precision machined from double-anodized aluminum using state-of-the-art 5-axis machinery
  • Equipped with a fully sealed carbon fiber drag system that provides an unbelievably smooth drag
  • Each reel size is tailored to excel in specific trout angling scenarios
