I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Like The RX Spey Fly Reel

When it comes to targeting salmon or Steelhead, the Bauer RX Spey Fly Reel is our go-to choice for its exceptional performance. This reel is specially designed to perfectly balance two-handed rods and heavier saltwater rods. Its modern aesthetic is highlighted by a sleek gold hub against a solid black, polished hardback frame.

What sets this reel apart is its large diameter spool, which enables quick line pickup and ample capacity to accommodate our preferred line. The reel is constructed using precision-machined aerospace-grade aluminum and stainless steel, ensuring both durability and ease of maintenance.

Bauer takes reel engineering seriously and the RX Spey is a testament to their dedication. Crafted right here in the United States with the best available technology, this reel is built to meet the requirements of serious anglers.
