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.
