Fly Fishing OutfittersFeaturing custom crafted freshwater fly rods, saltwater fly rods and fibreglass fly rods for the discerning fly angler. Match these with our line of fly reels and fly fishing accessories and you have a winning combination of quality, performance and value. If you take your fly fishing seriously, you have come to the right place.

We are proud to offer the Signature Series fly reels which we feel are amongst the better freshwater, estuary and light saltwater reels made in the world today. This should not surprise you as many top brand fly reels are made by the same manufacturer as these or others quite similar to this OEM manufacturer. The Signature fly reel offers high end performance and rugged durability without the cost of the brand name or the box. It's just that simple.
The Signature Series reels are a true large
arbour fly reel and CNC precision cut from premium T6061 aircraft grade bar
stock aluminium. These reels are capable of taking on all of our native
species. Here are some of the features of these fly reels...
·
Fully anodized finish featuring a
strong caged
frame spool design
and oversized handles.
·
A large diameter cork on delrin drag with low start up inertia and ultra
smooth feel.
·
Stainless steel needle bearings on a polished hardened chrome shaft for
durability and performance.
· A fully clutched one-way bearing system with inner-spool cap screw on sealed retainer.
· The drag system is self lubricating and is fully sealed to keep out damaging moisture and debris.
· A smooth silent retrieve combines with a subtle line out clicker to compliment the reel.
·
Requires minimum maintenance with occasional care and
will last for years to come.
· All reels include a neoprene pouch and can easily be set to right or left hand wind for you upon purchase.
