Die‑Cast Aluminum 5/6 Fly Reel – Lightweight • Reliable • Budget‑Friendly

This 5/6‑weight fly reel is built from durable die‑cast aluminum, offering a solid feel without unnecessary weight. The perforated spool and frame keep it light and help shed water quickly, making it a dependable choice for trout, panfish, and general freshwater fishing.

The reel weighs 5.4 oz and features a 3 1/8" diameter with a 1 3/8" wide spool, giving you a compact, balanced profile that pairs well with most 4–6 wt rods. A quick‑release spool makes swapping lines fast and easy.

These reels were originally sample units from another company, brought in for evaluation before they decided to move in a different direction. They’re brand‑new, fully functional, and I have more than one in stock—perfect if you want a reliable reel without the premium price tag.

The adjustable drag system with clear +/– indicators gives you smooth control on the water, and the large‑arbor profile provides quick line pickup when you need it. It’s a straightforward, no‑nonsense reel that performs well above its price point.
