The OMC Undertow 3" is a precision‑machined aluminum click‑and‑pawl built for anglers who want a reel with presence — loud, mechanical, and unmistakably alive. At 4.9 ounces, it balances beautifully on modern glass and classic cane, delivering that raw analog pulse that defines the OMC experience.

Its signature fish‑bone cut pattern exposes the reel’s skeleton, giving the Undertow a carved‑from‑metal intensity that stands out on the river. The palming rim gives you direct, tactile control when a fish surges, and the open‑frame architecture amplifies the sound of the pawls in all the right ways.

Designed to shine on 5wt and heavier lines, the Undertow brings authority to bigger water and stronger fish without losing the simplicity of a true click‑and‑pawl.

Although these reels have been tested hard, this run is part of our ongoing exploration of colorways and etched pattern variations. Each reel is a one‑of‑one — what you see is exactly what you get.
Every Undertow ships in a neoprene reel case.

The Undertow is built to be fished hard, admired up close, and recognized instantly.
