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.

Battenkill Fly Reel

Battenkill Fly Reel

Description

A legend among trout fishermen, the Orvis Battenkill Fly Reel is a masterpiece that perfectly complements slow- and moderate-action fly rods. Its impeccable balance with shorter, lighter weight rods never fails to amaze.

Despite its vintage-inspired design, this reel is surprisingly lightweight without compromising durability. Crafted from machined bar-stock aluminum, it is built to last. The larger-diameter spool enhances retrieval rate, and the internally adjustable drag system offers four settings for your preference.

No matter how much tension you choose, the spool is easily palmed, allowing you to apply extra pressure when battling stubborn fish.

Key Features:

  • Machined bar-stock aluminum construction for durability and lightness
  • Click-and-pawl drag system with four adjustable positions
  • Larger diameter spool for faster line retrieval
  • Can be configured for left- or right-handed line retrieval
  • Vintage-inspired click-and-pawl reel perfectly matches shorter, lighter rods
