The Vision XLV reels are lightweight and well balanced. The V-frame design feels solid and the EVA handle stays grippy even in rain. I’ve used them on several trout streams and they perform smoothly with good braking.

Great for fly fishing in variable weather. The large arbour gives good casting distance and the disc brake is responsive. The only minor issue is the V-shape feels a bit bulky in smaller hands.

I switched from a heavier reel and noticed a big difference in casting comfort. The weight reduction is real and the grip is excellent. The black 7-8 model stands out in my fly box.
