Cheeky Sighter 350 Fly Reel

Line Weight: 4-5

Targeted Species: Trout, Bass

New Sighter Reels set the bar for versatility and value! How can one reel do so much? With a full cage frame design, the new Sighter is light enough for your standard weight rods, but is also at home with thin-line set ups and running lines found in popular Euro-nymph and switch/spey line configurations. With Cheeky's award-winning Rev Carbon Drag, this reel punches far above its weight class in the drag department. Plus, you can't find this kind of value and versatility for under $200 anywhere else. We are proud to add the all-new Sighter Fly Reels to the Cheeky lineup. 

The New Sighter 350 is your trout workhorse. With a dependable drag, a 3.5 inch diameter with that rich emerald color, the Sighter 350 is perfect for a standard 4 or 5 weight rod. The beefier 5.9-ounce full frame reel is perfect for Euro nymphing and trout spey since it balances well and keeps that thin running line in check.

Looks great.

It's too soon to say I have used it on the water - the time of year is not conducive to quick usage where I live. But my Sighter 350 (w/extra spool) looks, feels, and functions great. I will provide a better review after I take it to Alaska in July. This is my 3rd Cheeky reel so I'm sure it will be fine.

Solid so far

I bought this reel specifically for euro nymphing. My plan is to use it with my 3wt -10ft euro rod for large fish in Michigan. I took it out west for a trial run and landed a very nice brown. I pulled him out of a hole and through some really fast water. The rod and reel worked as expected. The only issue I have encountered is my tippet getting wrapped up
In the reel when I put the reel in its pouch. That was truly a pain. I have no iidea how it slipped out of the full cage, but it was a pain getting it undone. Other than that, looking forward to seeing how it holds up to Michigan steelhead.

I havent got a chance yo fish it yet but I absolutely love it. I put it on my TFO Drift and with a nimphing line and a mono leader it feels great. It's the perfect balance. L
I love the color and the full frame thank you best father's day present I ever got.

Sighter series of reels are multifunctional

The Sighter series of reels with the full cage design is great for Euro mono setup rigs, I’ve ordered the spare spool for each model I have and use the Cheeky All Day fly line on one spool & mono rig on the other; to top it off the Rev Carbon Drag is well above industry standards!

This is a great reel for the price point, the drag system is by far above average I will be pairing this with a 7'6" fiberglass for trout and small mouth
