Orvis Hydros Fly Reel

The new Orvis Hydros Reel has had unnecessary material removed to further reduce the weight while stiffening the narrow spool, which minimizes line stacking. The drag knob has been changed to be more ergonomically accessible and comfortable to use and the seal on the sealed drag has been refined to protect the clutch bearing in the drag mechanism. Orvis radiused the reel foot as on the Mirage for kink-free leader protection and the fully sealed drag with stacked carbon and stainless steel disc washers is still one of the strongest in the industry, with zero start-up inertia. Matte type II anodized finish, standard large arbor size which balances better with lighter-weight fly rod, and yet still offers excellent retrieval rates and less line coiling than standard arbor reels. Refinement and improvement are the hallmarks of quality. Matte black with silver accents, matte silver with charcoal accents. Imported. FLY LINE NOT INCLUDED.
