Eden HX Fly Reel (New Model)
These reels are our pick for our $599 outfits and they’re the entry point to a fully machined fly reel. Being machined from solid, aircraft grade aluminium, they are super light and very strong. The internal drag system is reliable and very smooth in the lighter settings for protecting light tippets. There is no better value for money in this price range.

Samantha Rutherford –
I’ve used the Eden HX reel for several weeks on lakes and streams. The weight is light, and the drag system works smoothly even with thin tippets. The handle feels balanced and the reel retrieves line quickly. Great value for the price.
Yvonne Rutherford –
Switched from a basic reel to the HX and noticed a big difference in sensitivity and control. The sealed drag keeps it clean even after rain. Perfect for light fly fishing.
Paul Parr –
Solid build and performs well in the field. A bit heavier than expected for a lightweight reel, but still very responsive. Drag adjustment is easy and reliable.

The large arbor design makes line retrieval fast and efficient. I use it for both dry fly and nymphing. The carbon fibre drag stays smooth and doesn’t wear down quickly.
