The B est in Fly R eels

The Fly Shop’s Signature Fly Reels

Our L2A Fly Reels are in a class by themselves! They’ve got a super-smooth, ultra-reliable drag that’s sensitive enough to protect fine tippet, yet strong enough to stop any fish in freshwater right in its tracks. There isn’t a better fly reel made or sold anywhere else at a better price. The L2A reel is made for fish that want to bust you off. That’s when the friction-free spin of our L2A spool and precision-machined L2A frame and perfectly matched spool is going to make a difference. L2A reels are made for actual situations when anglers don’t have time to think about the reel. The Fly Shop’s L2A reels uses a durable, sensitive, and nearly infallible drag and spindle design system with 34 drag settings that will handle any imaginable freshwater fishing situation. Its a drag that is now common to dozens of other reels in the industry, and one that has proven to perform flawlessly in the most demanding freshwater situations The Fly Shop’s L2A reels are tailored for those times when the fish you’re after strikes, you have set the hook, and the fun starts. Suddenly, terms like ‘low start up inertia’ mean your tippet is still intact and the fish you’ve been searching for is still there. You might still have to worry about possible wind knots and think about the strength of that tippet and some other stuff. But with an L2A reel on your rod, it’s performance will be the least of your concerns. The L2A reel is the most popular fly reel we’ve ever had here at The Fly Shop® and features a price tag that has made it one of the top values in fly fishing tackle.

The Fly Shop’s most popular Galvan reel is made in the California foothills, east of Sacramento, by a family of American machinists. The Torque is beautiful, functional, exceptionally light, with an ultra-reliable drag system. The Torque fly reels are time-tested favorites among our expert regional anglers. They’re fully machined, polished, and then anodized in a choice of four super-attractive colors to match most rods. The large arbor feature serves to reduce the rpms when a fish is running and helps to retrieve up line quickly. The large diameter spool will minimize line memory, and the extensive porting reduces weight, optimizes the strength/weight ratio of the aluminum frame, and helps dry your line.

Galvan Rush LT Reel

There are sexier reels. There are lighter reels. But there aren’t any reels that offer the sheer dependability and functionality that these fully machined drag reels have at this price. Rush LT reels can handle anything thrown at them. They were the predecessor to Galvan’s higher end Torque reel, feature the same composite disc drag, and are essentially the same high quality but with simpler, slightly heavier porting pattern. In fact, the Galvan Rush LT spools fit perfectly on the Torque frame - and Torque spools will marry the Rush frame. The extensive additional porting, machining, and polishing on the Torque models reduce weight and add ventilation, but also considerable expense. s Incredibly durable and a terrific, feature laden, fly reel value! s Available in black, blue, green, orange or clear anodized finishes s Employs the ultra-reliable Torque drag system s Maximum porting to reduce overall weight s Minimal start up inertia s Saltwater-safe Type II anodization and stainless steel components s Easily converted from left to right hand wind retrieve s Machined 6061 bar-stock anodized aircraft aluminum s Interchangeable with Torque frame and spools s Like all Galvan reels, they’re 100% made in America

Abel Sealed Drag Reels a new standard in fresh and saltwater reels

In the 1980’s Steve Abel set a new benchmark in saltwater reels when he introduced the Abel Big Game Series. It was the most coveted saltwater reel of the era and was found on the rod in the hands of nearly every serious tarpon and big game fly fisherman. At least the ones who could afford them. The newest iteration of quality and performance from Abel is their totally re-engineered Sealed Drag Series, which features a unique, completely sealed, multi-disc braking system that’s powerful, reliable, smooth, and capable of taking on both fresh and saltwater gamefish. SDS (saltwater) versions have all the power needed to halt a hard-fighting tarpon in it’s tracks. The lightweight SDF (freshwater) models have virtually zero startup inertia, an enormous amount of drag, and three times the adjustment range of its predecessors. They’re just perfect for fighting trophy trout on light tippet. Abel Sealed Drag Reels are available in a variety of colors and graphic designs. Some resemble the markings of fish species and all are created individually by the Abel art department. If there are more beautiful reels made, we haven’t seen them. The reels are identical and the complexity of the finish determines its price. They take equipment to a new level in capturing the essence of our sport and are the perfect reel for the angler who won’t settle for anything but the best.

Ross has been making reels in America since 1973

Ross started in a little California town just north of Redding. Their motto “made on the water” became accentuated with the company’s move to Colorado and their commitment to design and innovation has resulted in some of the best fly reels on the market today!

Ross Evolution LTX Reels

Ross has reinvented one of the best trout reels made, and the Evolution LTX is now lighter, faster and offers a sealed drag 4 times stronger than its predecessor. Everything has been thought of with this reel design from an arbor knot channel that enables smooth backing loading hiding arbor knots, a Micarta handle made from a canvas phenolic rod adding durability and increased grip when wet. The LTX is a top of the line freshwater reel, and a solid choice for light saltwater applications. It is not only a great trout reel but has the power to take on redfish, bonefish, or snook, and is built to last for many enjoyable seasons to come.

Nautilus X-Series Fly Reels

The innovative cutaway frame on the Nautilus X-Series did more than shave weight and add sex appeal. It added rear spool rim protection where the reel typically makes contact. The large, wide arbor spool on the X-Series is super-ventilated to improve drying time of the line and backing. Too, it features an extra wide palming rim that adds approximately 35% more strength. The highlight of X-Series reels is the new, feather-smooth, Nautilus factory-sealed SCF-X Teflon® and carbon fiber disc drag. It is impervious to the elements, and helps these reels rate as one of best quality fly reel values in our sport.
