Get loaded!  The Cheeky Fishing PreLoad 2.0 350 Fly Reel comes spooled up and ready to fish with Cheeky’s premium 20-lb backing, specially paired and all-new green weight forward floating fly line, and a 9-foot loop-to-loop tapered leader.  Available in Lunar or Moonstone in all sizes, spend less time and money rigging up and more time on the water. 

The PreLoad 2.0 350 Fly Reel’s new CNC Machined Frame features a blade design minimizing weight and strengthening structure. Known for its strong and smooth drag systems, Cheeky Fishing has delivered yet again with the new PreLoad 2.0’s S-Power Drag. This system incorporates a stacked alternating disc drag providing no detectable startup inertia and more than enough fish-stopping power.

But the PreLoad 2.0 350 Fly Reel doesn’t stop there. Cheeky has taken the hassle and expense out of rigging by preloading the fly reel with its specially designed backing, fly line and leader. The low-friction, abrasion-resistant 20 lb fly line backing ensures you’ll have the perfect foundation to tire out that trophy fish while the Cheeky designed WF 5/6 90-foot floating fly line has the taper to cast small streamers, dry flies and nymphs alike - in its brand new green color. The new notched spool cap allows for better grip, and to top it all off with an included 9 foot loop-to-loop tapered leader and you’ll be ready to hit the water instantly.

These Will Hunt!

I purchased two of the 350 preloads for fishing in the Driftless Area of SE Minnesota. I’ve paired them on 5wt and 6wt rods to target everything from a Brooke Trout and Smallmouth bass up north and Brown/Rainbow Trout down south. No Regrets

Nice reel

This is a nice fly reel, especially when purchased on a 1/2 off sale.

Your number one reel for every occasion

If you want a fly reel (and line) that's ready to be put to work, available for a great price, durable, and functionality sound, you came to the right place. What an update to the original Cheeky Preload series, the 2.0 brings back everything the old reel had and upgraded it. These reels are light, smooth, and true to their word. For the price you really cannot find better quality, yet alone a reel that comes with backing, line, and leader ready to use out of the box. This should be the leading reel for those just getting into the sport, budget anglers, guides looking for equipment for their clients, or even those that have been fly fishing for years. Cannot say enough good things about Cheeky and their products.

Comes fully loaded

I bought this as a gift for my daughter -- to add to the fly rod I built for her; so, not used yet, but seems like great value -- fully loaded w/backing, line and leader!
