Hydros Reel: The iconic Hydros Reel by Orvis has been upgraded to provide an even better fishing experience. By eliminating unnecessary materials, the weight of the reel has been reduced while the narrow spool has been stiffened to minimize line stacking.
This reel is made from precision-machined, anodized 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring exceptional durability and longevity. It offers maximum line pick-up, consistent drag performance, and the power to stop even the toughest fish.
The Hydros Reel is available in multiple sizes, allowing you to choose the right reel for your needs. Larger reels have a larger drag surface, providing more resistance to handle larger fish.
Equipped with stacked carbon washers and a positive click adjustment system, the Hydros Reel can be easily fine-tuned to handle various fish species. Its drag pressure is sustained and infinitely durable.
