Purity Refined
Purity redefined. The Purist II takes a classic approach and elevates it with modern engineering — clean, simple, and lighter than almost anything else in its class.
Built with a traditional click-and-pawl drag, this reel delivers direct, tactile feedback and a satisfying “click” on every turn. Its super large arbor design increases line pickup rate while keeping mass to a minimum — so you can spend less time wrestling slack and more time fishing.
Composed of only a handful of precision-machined parts, the Purist II is incredibly lightweight yet remarkably durable, with a narrow profile that balances beautifully on light freshwater rods. Whether paired with a spinning or baitcasting setup, the Purist II offers a smooth, responsive performance.

The balance and responsiveness are outstanding. The narrow profile fits perfectly on my 7-foot rod, and the drag system is very precise. I didn’t notice any slack during casting, which is a big plus for fly fishing.

It’s a solid choice for light freshwater fishing. The weight is impressive, and the drag feels responsive. A bit more expensive than basic reels, but the build quality and performance justify the price.
