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.
