The reel feels solid and well-built. The drag system is smooth and responsive, especially when fighting smaller trout. The wide arbor helps with quick line retrieval and the anodized knob is easy to grip in wet conditions.

I’ve used the 5/6 model with my standard trout rod and it performs well. The drag is precise and the full frame design fits nicely in my fly box. A bit heavy for very light setups, but worth it for consistent performance.
Joe White –
The concave arbor gives excellent strength and the line pickup is fast. I’ve fished it in cold water streams and it held up well. The color option for 2024 looks modern without losing the classic look.
