I’ve used this reel on both saltwater flats and freshwater ponds. The drag system holds strong even during long runs with large Bonefish. The cold-forged aluminum frame feels solid and durable. It’s a reliable choice for serious fly fishing.

Great performance in heavy fishing conditions. The drag capacity at 11/12 is sufficient for Redfish and Stripers. It’s a bit heavier than some reels, but the build quality and reliability make it worth the weight.
