Dripping with style and performance, the new Drip Fly Reel is designed to give the angler a premium feature set at an unprecedented value. Drip Fly Reels have a unique 5-sided porting aesthetic on the frame and spool, creating both a strong and very lightweight reel designed for long days on the water. With a fully sealed, stacked disc drag, this reel combines good looks with the tech to back it up. 

We developed the Drip reel with a narrower spool width to reduce the tendency of fly lines to stack up asymmetrically when retrieved, and we increased the overall spool diameter to add line retrieval speed.

Features:

  • CNC machined aerospace aluminum frame designed to reduce weight without sacrificing durability
  • Narrow, durable die cast aluminum spool helps prevent “line stack up” and giant arbor to maximize retrieval rates without compromising line capacity. 
  • Fully sealed stacked disc drag with up to 12lbs of stopping power
  • Lightweight for balance and long days on the water
  • Push button spool release for secure attachment and easy spool swap 
  • Almost guaranteed to catch you bigger fish
