Bauer RVR Reel – Charcoal/Silver
SPECIALIZED TROUT REELS FOR A VARIETY OF TECHNIQUES.
RVR 2/3
Small streams and spring creeks are the ideal waters for 2 and 3wt fishing. You’re not likely to ever need 70 yards of backing here, or a drag capable of stopping a steelhead. What you will need is a lightweight reel designed with the smaller capacity and perfect drag for those very special angling situations.
RVR 4/5
The line and backing capacity, drag and weight of this reel have been appropriately designed for the more sizeable trout, larger water, longer casts and more varied techniques associated with 4 and 5wt rods. Whether you’re fishing a floating line or a light sink tip, whether fishing dries or wets, this is the ideal reel.
RVR 6/7
A larger reel for the heavier trout and more demanding conditions. Designed to handle greater line loads and longer casts, it offers improved durability and performance in larger water bodies.

| RVR 2/3 | 20-30 lb | 30 yd | 5.5 oz |
| RVR 4/5 | 30-40 lb | 50 yd | 7.2 oz |
| RVR 6/7 | 40-50 lb | 70 yd | 9.8 oz |

Rebecca Cameron –
I’ve used the RVR 4/5 reel on several trout streams and it handles the lighter lines well. The drag is smooth and the casting distance is good for its size. It’s perfect for morning walks in small rivers.

The RVR 2/3 is light and easy to carry. I used it in a narrow stream and found it responsive with minimal effort. Great for beginners or short trips.
Trevor Sanderson –
Fished the RVR 6/7 in a larger lake and it held up well under pressure. The line capacity and drag are sufficient for larger trout. A solid upgrade from my old reel.
