The Orvis Hydros fly reel remains one of the top choices in its category and price-point. Its sealed drag system, with carbon and stainless steel disc washers, is known for being among the most powerful in the industry, with no start-up inertia. The full-matte finish, large arbor size, and balanced design make it a great option, providing excellent retrieval rates and reduced line coiling compared to reels with standard arbors. Crafted with precision, this reel embodies top-notch quality.
